another one is screwing the magnets to a piece of wood then attaching a broom handle to it, that way you dont have to bend over to pick the screws up off the floor

Haha, I do that with the stick and magnet for screws. I got a huge stereo speaker magnet I attached to a broken broom stick, use that sucker like a metal detector. Picks up all the crap I drop on the floor. Quick wave over an area and move on most of the time.

I did a similar thing not long after I took up scrapping, but instead of attaching it to wood and broom handle, I just took a good lenth of wire insulation that I had removed, tied it through the hole and now can just dangle it over the floor or where ever I am working. Stick it to the side of my fridge when I am done with it, insulation still attached.

there is great money to be made from 2nd hand store 90% wouldnt really know the scrap value.
you could offer free pick up of there unwanted items.I have 2 whiteware shops I grab what ever i want out the back plus a deal with 4 computer stores for their unwanted junk (he he he they dont know theres gold in there hills).they are happy not to pay to have it dumped and your happy with the unwanted items.
I say go for it dont hold back to what stores you try.dont need to be 2nd hand stores either main stream have trade ins and dumpers to
good luck and happy scrappin

I used to keep a magnet in my pocket but my pants kept getting stuck to my truck. JG, could you explain to me what a p38 is?

Yeah it is possible dear, There are manyonline couponing stores from where you can buy any thing in discounted rate and sell hem according to your asking price.
