    I'm going to type this slowly, and think out what I type. It's a good practice session for my personal life. It's not that we don't believe you. Looking back, nobody said they don't believe you. YOU said you don't believe us. When you first arrived on the board, you did this with "where can I sell my boards, nobody around here buys them". We held your hand and walked you through that too. Right now, I will tell you this. YOU WILL NOT MAKE MONEY AT THIS THE FIRST YEAR. Anyone who tells you that you will, is lying. I don't care what anyone out here says. You can show me you "made" money the first year, and we'll dig into it and figure it out. When I first did this, I drove multiple times, 100+ miles round trip for 4-6 towers, that I Paid 5 dollars a piece for. I KNEW I was losing money while I was doing this. But it got me product, and I learned so much about the market. I did this on purpose. You will have to do the same thing. Go to a Pack N Ship type of place. Even if it's 100 miles away. LEARN from them. I did this with boards. I knew I was going to get screwed by the yard by what they paid me. But they graded them in front of me. Cheap education. I have read, and read, and read and read some more on the internet. I will tell you I have over 2000 hours of reading on the area of scrapmetal and business. I have another 2000 hours of reading. I do this on dialup. You will read things that have no bearing on anything. But for every 100 things your read, 1 thing will be beneficial.

    Attached are 2 snips of pages from my FedEx account. As you can see, nobody here is bull****ting you. $55.46. Let's make a deal here, We will ship thru my account, and you pay me $110. I think we both win here.

    As people have said before, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
