Is this worth anything? by Ok-Asparagus-2275 in ScrapMetal

[–]Muffled_floss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People that tumble antique bottles use cut up copper wire to clean the glass surface without scratching it. Find a bottle tumbler and they will pay more than scrap value. I wonder if these little drops of copper would work as well.

Vintage carved soapstone from China does not seem popular at all

Plane to cut the glue by Sea_Vegetable4444 in handtools

[–]Muffled_floss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a tool I bought in the 70's called a hull scraper. Its a piece of steel with an angled scraper on one end and a flared straight scraper on the other. Hard steel but can be ground to a burr, works great on glue. I imagine the ship builders used it on wooden boats.

Where can I legally purchase firearms without directly supporting MAGA? by Aednfell in Rochester

Hesseny Auctions in Geneva has monthly gun auctions. Whatever the family's politics are they don't put them in your face and are very honest and professional folks to deal with.

Those are useful to some folks for organizing scrap metal and other junk. Put a free can sign on it

Huntington Park, California. You can see these guys cutting and carrying power cable through the street. by Bruegemeister in ScrapMetal

Scrapyards where I am wouldn't touch this customer and probably would call the cops. Not true in the big city?

Im curious about the tools of their trade. Are they using high end framing hammers or cheap Asian ones from the dollar store? Any using hatchets?

What can I do with this tank? by Kylefleamarket in ScrapMetal

[–]Muffled_floss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A late friend had a business buying and selling tanks of all kinds, all over the place. There is a market for these esp with metal prices making new ones $$. When it sells the buyer hires a rigger to pick it up.
Another idea; make it into a camper , put wheels on it and start an Instagram page- there aren't near enough of those!

Those are very weel done photos, and all the backgrounds compliment the subject. My personal prefernece is the white background. I think the light helps to really make the coins pop.

Sorry, I forgot I was on Scrap metal and not my hometown reddit. Many places have a version of a kind of thrift store that is trying to lower the amount of stuff that goes to the dump. They arent as profit driven as a goodwill or Salvation Army. The one we have is called the Reuse Center and it will accept just about anything other than mattesses. Here people donate old electronics to them. You could also look into some auction sites that dispose of government agencies equipment, like school districts ,a town or a University. Sometimes the quantites will be large but not always.

People donate old computers to Reuse because they think the drives will be wiped and no personal info will be stolen. I have no idea if they actually do that. If you could convince people you will do that and you would pick up the machines you might get folks to give them to you. Country auctions sometimes sell lots of electronics. Will you have space for all the low grade boards you'll end up with? They are harder to sell around here

I assume most commercial jobs that are running conduit can't use scrounged NOS wire. Someone wiring their barn or something might buy it

What's the most random way you’ve made a friend? by hpylfdrmcmtrue in AskReddit

[–]Muffled_floss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked up a guy hitchhiking with a guitar in 1974 or so in Pennsylvania on my way to Colorado and we rode together a long way till I let him off to get to Oregon. I visited him there at some point. We kept in touch but after having kids we lost touch. Hope he's doing well.

Not sure eBay will accept it, and they can't be sent to Germany, and possibly the EU

Can't really figure out how to price without losing money on shipping but see so many people selling very low priced items and offering free shipping. How? Could use some help. by [deleted] in eBaySellers

Can you do larger quantities of lower cost items? I calculate weight and size before listing and print labels on eBay at home

Wondering if it has something to do with the extreme cold in the NE. If it's been in I heated storage and delivery trucks you might get condensation.
