I know it was just an example of how strapped people are for cash, soo there out scrapping, but an old couple on bicycles isnt much competition. In my area the dpw's been complaining about "scrappers" driving around at night and taking items off the curb on bulk night. Soo now there going to start handing out fines if your caught. Anyway like mick said, you have to try and get repeat business and make contacts, driving around and hopeing to come across scrap can be very stressful,time consuming,and the end result isnt always the best.
