    Im at 4c lb....last week bought a van for 100 no title. Cat was worth 135 on it...oddball...doesnt happen all the time. Pulled cores like alt, starter, and computers online. Van netted 140 across scale. Also full tank of gas, so fuel in wrecker doesnt count. Free gas. So 175 profit. Would have been more if alu wheels..9 a piece with rubber still on it here. Did sell two ties and steel rims to local used tire place for 16 bucks.

    So yes money can be made. Computers worth 200 online. Done in 2 hours....

    P.s Normal cat price is 45 bucks, but this was a special cat. Back in the day cat was worth 200.



    Depends on your market and location in country. Im still running cars and actually fighting with other scrappers over them.
