    With me, i was going to the gas station for cigrits and around the corner was a pile of air ducts, condoit and a fuse box. I grabbed it all for my friend that scrapped a bit but said forget him, ill take it in. I got $18 and was hooked ever since. Over the years i made more and more contacts, hauled off shelfs and racks from work and scrapped going to and home from work. I met Jim the car guy, he owns a body shop. He was my first business contact i made when the prices dropped back in 2015 cause his guy stopped answering his phone. Now i have Jim, the Hvac place, Plumbing Co., Hvac technition, and machine shop i pick up from. But as years passed, my job as the night manager at the local super market chain was pissing me off so i quit cause it was more that they needed me than i needed them. also i was making almost the same amount on the side scrapping as my job. So now im a full time scrapper and never looked back. I do miss a pay check and some fellow employees, but do not miss the stress or corporate D-bags
