WOWOWOOWOW

PRICE DROP FROM HELL. yesterday 115 shred, 160 prepared
today 65 shred , 110 prepared

fridge I was given this morning. 70 lb for the body, 37 for prepared--shelves etc. 4.65$ ouch, when I got 18 for the last one.

This is great reading, and of course makes me wonder how much $$ I have left by the end of the driveway for someone else to make a few bucks off of.

All metal is money! Just not so much with the price drop!

WAY too much work for the return. grandma wanted a new mattress . so I was given the chore of taking apart the old box spring. yikes. an hour of sawz all and sledge hammer. pulling off the fabric and cutting the boards.

bought two chairs for .25 each. a few minutes to unscrew the cushions , then knock off the plastic casters, an then it was 'prepared'
5 barstool, swivel bases... given to me by the kind folks at the VFW.

$1.82

BUTTTTT W when you consider the percentage profit.. not the actual amount. t'aint bad.

a truck full of misc steel. the dryer, box springs, a grill.

340.00 lb at 60/ton ==10.20 ouchhhhhh

the VFW is giving me a bunch of stuff. no money in it anymore. but at least they are not paying someone to haul it away.

al serving rack, fry-o-lator-, sink, hot table.

BEST payday in ages... took in my accumulated al, extruded paid .68 with the clean sheet at .44.

Good prices on the Alum!

grrr here we go with the kids not knowing what is what again.

al pipe, from a music stand... paid me as dirty al , .23

a 10' xmas tree . shred 48 lb at 45/t

and a computer glitch... prepared 11 lb .... I think she messed up the spreadsheet as it says .83 /lb and zero for the pay.

the sink that was stainless proved to me too much for me. I bought a new blade for my sawzall .. only to have it last about 2 minutes. I did not know that ss is so tough. so it went 'as is'. drats.

200 lb at 65/t

$70 a ton! Is this prepared?

that was 'clean sheet' . I got a 5.00 bonus for some reason.

tues was 2 file cabinets... 80 lb at 65/t

hated to do the scale , as it is my feeling that under 100 lb . and the 20 lb increment vs the 1.00 of the small scale. you can lose too much .

Yep that 20 pound sucks, most time I feel its not going in my favor! My last trip it may have though. I had 2 lawn mower frames one was battery operated and had lots of plastic on it. A small microwave gutted and stuffed with small shred items, 2 large sections of fake Christmas trees, a few other small things and a large lcd tv monitor. They said 200 pounds

3rd lawn mower in 2 days LOL. One gas powered could not get it to run so scrap it was, removed the engine for dirty alum or alum transmission price (depends on the yard). Second one was a battery operated one (removed lead acid battery and electric motor) and the one yesterday was electric with its cord cut (removed electric motor as well). Tis the season!

I dropped the ball with this monthly tracking thing, sorry, too busy at the Portland Mint to be a scrapper! I guess I am a full-time copper miner so that counts in a way, haha.
