    Aluminum Horseshoes

    A scrapping partner and I were loading up some aluminum in the truck to go to the yard and he threw these aluminum horseshoes in that he got from an estate clean out. Due to the fact that they had the brand name on them I saved them. Tossed them on ebay and was happily surprised what they brought!

    that right there is a prime example of why we ebay resale items, just makes you wonder how much of that kind of stuff actually gets sold for and processed as scrap. I guess thats still a good $40 after you take out shipping and fees, which is alot more than 4 pounds of aluminum wouldve brought at the yard.
