Be local scrap yards about cutting your own hole in a metal box. You might be able to do it unscathed, but your chinchilla might not get as lucky. It might wound itself as it tries to enter and exit the metal box.

I took away $1,327 in profit (this is not counting the other scrap I'd already bought from him) for spending no more than twenty minutes in his office earning his trust. He was VERY happy getting a few thousand $$$ for a jar of DIRT sitting on a shelf.

Determining the type of metal you're dealing with may be as easy as taking a magnet off your fridge. If the magnet sticks to your metal, the metal is ferrous. Ferrous metals include common metals such as iron and steel. Steel can be found in many products, including furniture, cabinets, and more. While steel may not collect much money at the scrap yard, it's important to take such materials to the yard in order for it to be recycled properly.

Very often white gold is replaced with Rhodium plating. As a result the plating comes off very soon, and it needs to be re-plated. Too thin gold on the ring wears off quickly, shank bends and break. In many cases the jeweler will tell you, that he needs to put on a new shank, which will cost you more money.

If you don't keep a magnet on you at all times, you are not yet a true scrapper, IMHO. The magnet will help you sort metals from being ferrous and non-ferrous very quickly, and even stop you from potential and extremely costly mistakes, ie buying copper coated steel wire as copper wire.

I related my findings and told David he had to do his own negotiations but I would coach him every step of the way. David paid my fee and I didn't hear from David for one year. When he called, I asked what happened to the car wash soap business. He filled me in on the story.
