    What i scraped today

    http://s1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd464/jhou38/ there was 5 ovens and 7 fridges, i took all the ovens. then while loading them, a guy pulls up with 4 kids they all jump out and i tell him to take the fridges. then he goes to straight cutting those freon lines funny stuff. i was to worried about that so i didnt take them. his oldest couldnt been more then 7. when they got out they went right to work on the ones he wasnt with there hand tools, as if they already knew what to do amazing. ill post what i get when i come back from taking them down there.

    There is another post yesterday that said prices went down, could be why you only got $34. I haven't checked my yet to see if the prices changed.

    I know "time is money" and that's why taking a little time to gut them would've netted you more.

    Another thing that's quick and easy to separate on stoves are the heating elements, both the coiled ones on the top/range, plus the 2 inside the oven itself. You should get stainless for them (around $.80/lb here currently)
