I'm glad sir started this thread. My 4-5 years if being a member of the forum, I have learned tons. The first time I came to this forum, I was looking for some other options to make money from scrap. I have always hauled ferrous and non ferrous to scrap yard by the truck loads, but never fooled with the e scrap. I started reading threads on here about all the money from escrap. I started digging back in older threads, learning from the veterans like sirscrapsalot, mech., and all the others( not that everyone else isn't important enough to list, but tbh, I can only think of the two off the top of my head). I have learned so much from you guys, and still learn new stuff every time I log on.
I have sold microwave and other appliance boards for reuse, sold computer boards and other high grade scrap to several different buyers, sent gold fingers and CPUs to refiners for PM recovery, sold colored glass from electron guns to a pipe maker. I could go on and on. None of this would be possible without this forum and the people that make it.
Hope everyone had a great year if scrapping in 2017, and hope that it's even a better year in 2018. Everyone be safe. Always remember, safety is the most important thing when it comes to scrapping. So many things can go wrong. We can catch a truck on fire with a torch and burn our house down before we know it!!!!
Happy scrapping 2018. Thanks again to everyone on this forum, both active and past members, who has shared their wisdom, knowledge, tricks and tips, and even screw-ups. That's how we learn. Let's make 2018 a year to remember.
