@thecollectoronthecorner7061 2 жыл бұрын

I collect bicycles and fasten them around the top of my premeter fence. I makes it more difficult to climb over. We are located at the Jct of two state highways. Folks stop and take pictures of the bikes. I was at a auction and boght two bicycles for $2.50 each. Im 70 and was rolling then out to my truck. A young woman asked grandpaw are you gonna ride them bikes. I replied no Im gonna fasten them to my fence. She stated I know where you live!

@thecollectoronthecorner7061 2 жыл бұрын

Im a collector /hoarder who tries to save too much stuff. However I do like to make a few dollars from selling scrap. I try to get a large enough quanity so I can effectively market it. At present I have about 50 vehicles slated to scrap. a lot of aluminum and breakage and quite a bit of copper wire and radiators. I take the time to strip out the wiring harness, heater core, evaporator and cats. sometimes I strip all the aluminum and stainless trim. Scrap prices fluctuate. However high fuel cost translate to higher scrap prices. The break even point to mine raw iron ore and minerals like Bauxite and Maganese is $3 per gallon. If diesel cost more than $3 they shut those mines down. and the demand for scrap increases.

Enjoyed the video. Can't blame the person that bolted in their tailgate. Those things get stolen in some areas, and it's dog gone easy to do. Lots of cool vehicles and cool stuff. People grip about what you get rid of, they don't consider the stuff you save AND that you're doing this for a living not for fun. I look forward to your videos so I can tag along for a bit. Stay safe and GOD bless
