Scrapper Shell from Mn says Hi to everyone!

So this is my story: Just like everyone else here we all likely can't get the American dollar to last to the next pay day, so I started scrapping. Currently I'm tearing apart electronics with the tenacity of a surgeon, saving every screw, copper tape, removing copper from every peripheral board, etc. This is time consuming, but I do enjoy doing it. It is very labor intensive, but again I knew I was not going to get rich doing this. Am I being too detailed with tearing stuff down, such as taking all plastic off steel, or will the yards accept it with bits of plastic remaining? Anyways, just wanted to pop in and say hi to all my fellow scratched knuckle friends!
Hope to hear from ya!:)

Some of that is going to depend on your yard, their not all the same as far as how picky they are. Are the peripheral boards out of computers, if your pulling stuff off computer boards then you might be down-grading the boards.

An hello to you from a sandbar off the coast of NC. I think Mech nailed your questions quite well, so I'll just add..welcome to the forums!
