times are tough and getting tougher. Prices are down and we see new scrappers here every day. that indicates the compitition is growing by the hundreds if not thousands every day.
you just have to do what ever you have to do. that means different things to different scrappers depending where you are on the pecking list.
I have 4 or 5 good deals working, but those dont count untill they are on the ground in my yard.
do what you have to to keep moving forward you need to get on the phone do it. ya need to make cold calls do it. if ya have money NOW is the time to buy. no matter what happens to the economy, the only thing that is going to happen to scrap is that a % of it will get even more valuable. use your most important tools, your brain and this forum, educate your self. the day I stop learning is the day they pull the sheet over my head.
I spent the last couple of days stripping 28 Ga computer wire with my thumb nail, only got about 5 lbs. but thats 5 Lbs I didnt have a couple of days ago.
