Nice pick up

So about a week ago I picked up a freezer from my Uncle. Then he calls today and he has a new neighbor and the previous owner left a bunch of junk. :) So we get there and start loading up the pile and the lady is outside and is still finding junk. Great! We finish loading the pile (which included copper pipe, wire, sheets of extruded and much more). I give her a flyer and then she gives me 2 batteries and a computer monitor. But 1 thing I am unsure about is this exhaust from a motorcycle and I can't tell if it has a converter or if it it just a muffler. Will try to post a pic. Also removed some propane tanks for her as a favor. Just open up the valve unscrew the top, right? Anyways, sorry for the novel;)

I have a thread over this that I posted a few months back:

http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/scrap...etal-gold.html

I ended up selling them for shred. My scrap buyer said the cat part was worth nothing. I just wanted to get rid of it TBH so I sold it as that. The one that doesn't have honeycomb is all steel.

Nice pickup by the way, sounds like you made some money. :)

Yeah, I think mine is just a muffler but I sold some motorcycle parts to a guy with a shop before so I'll run it by him. Also mine has the 5? pipes that go into one main pipe which then goes either into the muffler or converter. I'll have to barrow my Grandpa's inspection camera to look inside.

Well to add to this, just now my neighbor who fixes computers just gave me a server. I am so happy! Now if only I can find out how to post pics from a Ipod.

Get the photobucket app and imbed the direct link. Thats how I do it on my iPhone. Be on the lookout for pinless Xeon CPU's in that server, PartTimeScrapper likes those.

Seriously? Somehow, I don't quite think that would be good for the environment.

Congrats on your nice score.

Isn't propane natural?

There is Natural Gas and there is Propane. Neither of which is found in our atmosphere (at least not mine).

Well I'll just keep this going, on the way home my neighbor threw out an air conditioner. So I grab it and my other neighbor says that her Grandma is moving to assisted living and they have to get all the stuff out. They said they would call when they have a pile. Looks like this will be once again another nice pick-up

Today I finally cashed in the Mazda 626. with wheels. radiators, wiring, and other misc. it still weighed 2560 pounds for a grand total of steel being $256.00. Had to rent a dolley and oil leaked on it so we had to clean it, went to the self serve car wash and some one had dumped a hot water tank in one of the bays. Cashed that and other steel for $53.60

I cant agree more.

My neighbor (IT GUY) threw me some stuff today and there was a black mobo. would this be foreign grade? Also went picking in another neighboorhood and found what looked like an eviction. Got a brand new brake drum- ill give that to my mechanic, computer tower,bike,and other misc.

sorta, its by product of drilling for oil, and best way to deal with it, is burn it off, carefully and safely but hooking up tank to torch, like you get at HD or Lowes.

Well not enjoying this, got a diagonal cut in my palm and everyone moves their hand so it will take twice as long to heal. Not to mention in my post here awhile back the deal fell through with the person moving to assisted living (I think at least) and this is because it has been months with no call and they had a friend move in with them and when I'm loading up non-ferrous today I hear pssssssssssssss. Don't think nothing of it. So then we leave and the new people are dismantling a/cs in their front yard! On a better note, the non-ferrous load paid out to $185.00 and a ferrous load of shred brought in $43.70. BUT PRICES ON SHRED ARE DOWN! :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

I forgot to add that on a better note a harbor freight opened up a few main roads over from me. I was eying the trailer they sell.

Someone on craigslist is selling a commercial sink for scrap they say its stainless. What is a good price?

They say it is a 6-8 foot double bed

Scrapped a check reader. Nothing special inside, a green board with ic chips and like 10 gold pins What would this be considered? And a little motor and wires

May the good days keep on coming.

Mine will probably be graded as a peripheral board or hi end of the mid-grade

So picked up a truckload from a family friend who had done renovations to a property he bought. Here is what I got. 2 of these http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...ps441b8281.jpg a bunch of bsx cable or whatever it's called http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...pscadeca70.jpg a bunch of conduit mainly still with wires an intercomn system this beast http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...ps128fd2e0.jpg and finally the gold http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6fe8f39d.jpg http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...psf2befb7a.jpg

nice load!
a little cleaning and it will be a nice profit. Whats wrong with the air conditioner?

Nothing is wrong with it just have to wait around for the right time of year to sell it

Found these items in about 5 minutes The machine looks like it is missing a part in the bottom. I'll have a better look tomorrow. The leaf blower is a Troy built and I know their quality has really dropped. Now by not any means am I an engine expert but I know the basics and I don't think it has compression. http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0846bdae.jpg http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...pscde3b911.jpg

Went to a haunted house tonight and of course while I was leaving, I had to find scrap. This time it was a piece of restaurant equipment. Its one of those salad bar things with all the little built-in boxes for condiments. Suprisingly, it is refrigerated. If you want to see pics, let me know. Unfortunately its that fake s.s. but something is better than nothing!

Picked up 4 riding mowers today from a guy my dad works with. One has a full tank of gas and it looks like they put 100 lbs. more pressure than it should of been. The other 3 are all identical models (simplicity) 1 was stripped-no engine or really anything besides the transmission, seat, frame, hood, wire, and wheels. Since the wire was visible i cut it all out then i decided to cut it out of all of them-UGH! The other two were complete- batteries and i thought the one was part of the barn we pulled it out of. In the end, I got about 5 lbs of wire, 2 batteries, some aluminum clutch pedals, an unknown amount of gas, 6 good wheels to sell, 2 good seats, and a bunch of shred. I sure hope this was worth all the effort and work I put toward these.

they replaced one of those at my old labor job. lol, the look i mustve had in my eyes when i saw the new one arrive out the box. they all laughed at me and said 'no, no, no, you cant have it, we're taking it to another room upstairs"

this one was about 4x10' and seemed bout 125lb
