Welcome to the forum. I am also new from Greensboro/Guilford County.

I picked up a load of junk for this gentleman. In addition to the boxes of old housewares, clothes, etc., he had a good bit of PVC pipe that he wanted to get rid of. How much could I get for this...

Depends on how quickly you need to cash it in. I once found a beaten up 10K gold ring on the ground while I was pumping gas. I paid for my gas, drove across the street to a "cash for gold" place,...

Welcome...I'm actually a Tar Heel but I do have one Okie connection...my "vast" holdings of Chesapeake Energy stock. :)

Sounds like a tough situation but don't give up.

To be fair, sometimes it might be a lack of knowledge rather than laziness.

I got business cards from one of the office stores and I've been telling everyone that will listen that I am now doing junk removal. Things are starting to trickle in more and more. I went out last...

The business I've gotten to this point has been from the Craigslist ad that I run.

Second job, out of the blue.

I had an appointment scheduled for this morning but the guy called and changed it to Thursday (bad storm here last night). As soon as I got off the phone, an old...

Valid point. Being one's own boss isn't for everyone. But even though I am still working to get business off the ground, I am so much happier. I'm also convinced that in the long run I will make...

Welcome. I've just been here a day and I've already learned a lot.

No doubt...I was just renting the u-haul because I had no other option at the moment. I am looking into older pickups and got the idea of just buying an old trailer to hitch to the car from this...

Funny you should mention Salisbury. I had to go there yesterday (VA Medical appointment).

As far as kids' toys/clothes are concerned, there is a Once Upon A Child not a mile from where I live. ...

Most police officers exercise good judgment and common sense, especially if there are multiple cans ("Yes, officer, I drank over 300 beers for lunch..."). But in the interest of removing any...

I recently lost my 9-5 job (I had it coming :o) and decided to offer junk removal services. It has been slow because I'm still learning about properly advertising and I don't have a truck yet...

I hadn't thought about the recycling angle. Since I'm just getting started, I'm glad I found this forum so that I can pick up on things I didn't think about before. I'm thinking that Goodwill would...

I've recently started a small business taking people's junk. Like most people who do this, my plan is to go through each load for any valuables, then pull out any scrap metal, then anything...
