    Yeah, around here less your paying, you ain't hauling that pile o scrap behind the barn anywhere. Granted I do receive a few calls for come get it scrap, but those calls are far and few in between. I buy, buy, buy, and buy some more. Pays to be a sweet talking guy, but unless your good to you customers, you won't make it here. Got to offer em something no one else will.
