I hope it pans out for him but there doesn't seem to be a lot of future in this. I've seen a few active forums go obsolete over the years because times changed. Most of the scrappers i see in my day to day are like the kind of people you described in your earlier post. They're opportunists looking for a quick score without having to put much work into it. It's a lot like a gambling addiction for those coming in 2-3 times a day. It's interesting to watch them. They cut a few cords and maybe find a piece of copper or brass and you would think they hit the jackpot. More often than not ... they walk away empty handed but that only seems to make them even more determined to do the same thing even harder. Endorphin junkies i suppose ....



Most of the knowledgeable scrappers i see work at a scrapyard now. The freelancers that really know their trade seem to be far and few between.

I don't know as i'm going anywhere in particular with this. It's just my day to day observations based on what i've seen over the past few years.
