    2 weeks ago I found a few things while I was driving around for scrap..

    I found a 1960's marching band drum ( sold for $105 )
    a Vintage Crosman BB Gun ( sold for $50 )
    a Bag of SEALED 80's vinyl records ( sold 3 for a total of $61 )
    Kiss, Beatles + Elvis sheet music books ($35)

    in addition to the $385 I made with the scrap it was a great week... I love Garbage night !! LOL

    I do a lot of ranch cleanup. On this one particular ranch we were cleanin up, the owner wanted us to clean up a 20 acre lot, 2 4 wheelers, an old combine, and a HUGE burn-pit.

    In the lot, we found 2 old wagon wheels somewhat sticking out of the ground. Started digging around, turns out it was a full wagon! Ended up calling the Idaho Historical Society, they came and picked it up. Unfortunately we didnt get anything out of it. But it was still neat to know that we found a piece of history, over 150 years old!

    Just curious, I saw in your intro post that you're a scrap buyer and buy Vinyl Records. Why would you be offering to buy them if you do not already have a market for them?

    Meh, I refuse to give money to the monster called Ebay. Does it really cost that much to change some text on a website? I mean, you post it, you sell it, you ship it, the buyer gets it. Ebay is just some 1's and 0's floating around on copper wires.
