      It's not about the money to some it's about how you treat them and speak to them. I've had men get nasty and tell me to f off plenty of times to be polite back and walk away and then to then feel bad and ask me back and let me take the metal purely due to been polite and decent. I have regulars who give me big weigh ins once a year and won't take a penny and one of those jobs alone netted me 27k in 4 days but I've had people also ask for money for broken washers. Some people get pleasure out of helping others

    TIP 1. Because you lost one handtruck in the past; make outside youre van a hook. And use it for the handtruck. So it costs no space in the back of the truck. TIP 2 ; take tools with you when you go out for scrapping.I recommand a snipper and a screwdriver and perhaps a drill.

    Looking at the colour of pump it's for potable water so probably either bronze or stainless little difficult to tell on video, nice electric motors in those fans ,The place you picked up the 3 pumps you should have dropped a business card as the resident is obviously a commercial plumber as those bits were defo not domestic stuff 😁😁
