Three tractors, several cars and a truck with dump insert, and tons of parts. Knocked down over $25,000. The biggest hit was when we went to pull an old econoline van up to haul away. I opened up the back doors and from the doors to the front seat were plastic bags with a brown paper bag inside full of copper with the wire burnt off and wound up and wrapped in the middle. Filled my truck bed to the rails and had my shocks sagging it was about $3000 in copper. I will never forget opening up those doors.

I like this story!

I love reading back through these old responses. It only adds fuel to the fire. For me, I finally broke the $100 dollar mark two days in a row with $133 yesterday and $102 today.
Anyone else have an update?
