    Well it made it all the way to $100.00 a ton (2000#)
    That was last week BUT it seems to be short lived as I was told today to expect it to drop by $15 to $40.00 a ton by the end of next week

    Oh well > we will see

    A yard I use in Albany, NY (when I can justify the drive) jump to $200 / GT last week. Dropped back to $179 / GT today. I think the big jump ($41 / GT) last week was to promote a new shredder location and another new (bought out) yard. Hoping it stays up. Had to rent a trailer today to get rid of a Ford Expedition on Monday.

    Down to $60.00 a ton , I have not been posting too much on eBay, No helper right now

    I figure the my last helper got me for between 3 and 5 K

    So back the end of January I saw Nick Venckus post about needing a job on the loacal Face Book page >> Middleboro helping Middleboro.
    So I offered him one
    Nick ended up being one of my best workers, OR I thought.
    Seems that instead of putting the cat’s in a pile upstairs where I store them >> Nick was taking them home every night. So in the past 2 months Nick Venckus stole AT LEAST 3K worth of Cat’s
    All this after I let him use the Ford Ranger rather than him have to walk everywhere and gave him several loans when asked. << Which he had paid back
    Police report was filed >> So the bottom line is hold tight to things of value if Nick Venckus is in the area

    WHAT Happened >>
    Nick called in sick on Wednesday, That is when I noticed the missing cat’s.
    Nick called in sick on Thursday then showed up at 1 “Because he needed money”.
    I put him to work, end of day just before Nick was going to leave I checked Nicks backpack and there was the large Bread Loaf GM Cat that Nick had removed from the car in spot one that day.
    I told him to take a hike >> If I had it to do again I would have called the cops

    I guess Nick still needed money because on the way down the street he stopped and “borrowed” $60.00 from an elderly gentlemen on a fixed income using my name as a reference. Needless to say it has been over a week and the man is still out the $60.00

    Wow, that sucks. Sounds like Nick may be feeding an addiction.

    You sound like a very good employer. Too bad there are scumbags that will take advantage of that

    This one is only 5 days
    All you can drink is $50.00 a day per person in cabin So looking at $500.00 >> 2 people in cabin
    I have weighed it out and I don't drink as much as I used to so we are going to go on a pay as we go
    Will let you know how it worked out July 1 when I get back
