Welcome to SMF. When buying storage units or any auction remember to only pay for what you can see. This advice will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Best way to learn is by trial and error. Same way we lean to scrap just get out and do it to figure out what works and what hurts. eBay and amazon are your friends just make sure you account for fees...

Welcome from NC

Welcome to SMF

Most places require an Id and maybe even a photo. Some will also hold the check for a few days. Best thing I can say is ask the yard you plan on taking them to and just be honest in...

I was hoping to see my white hoe at the end.

A scrapper without a buyer is like the government without a bank

I would have to agree with plastic. Its pretty much the only thing out of electronics most people have a problem getting rid of.

But of course the #1 thing would be CRT tubes

I enjoyed the vid. Entertaining and showed the basics of taking them apart and what the different parts are.

As far as educating people. We cant help people who aren't willing to help them...

I wouldn't even turn the key on my truck for that load. Always ask what they have and if its not at least 10 computers or equal value tell them to bring it to you. What all do you have is always the...
