    Just over $1,000 for your trip to the big city. Bugs me that ReSteal only pays .14 for metal where Manhari's paying .35 or more. I know you've mentioned that Manhari is by a port to ship to China. Those portable A/C units might be worth accumulating and taking there for a much better price. I guess Ewaste Ben doesn't want to take a chance of showing his face on UA-cam. Always fun to follow along on your Scrappy Adventures. Thanks for sharing.

    Watched the title : lesson learned. He he, this guy is gone take care of his back more than ever. At the scrap yard, two rows of white good. I told myself, me and this guy do not learn lessons the same way ! And push the lesson to see if his back is good enough for the motor, lol. Oh, the lesson is about the transformers. The microwaves loose a bit of value. Will you continue to take the microwave transformers ? Still a fair price I think.
    You have a good price for motors, here in Quebec, I have only 18 cents per pound wich is around 40 cents per kilo.

    • @PolyProphet
      @PolyProphet  11 місяців тому

      A van is a great start Lisa! I’m not sure but I’m guessing your winters are frozen over? If that’s the case perhaps you can learn as much as you can and hit the ground running in spring. I’m not sure how it works over there but over here tradesmen stockpile scrap like electricians keep really high-quality cable off cuts. Often they have no time to take it to the scrap yard themselves. You could provide a service & pay them for their high-quality cable and then bring it home and strip it and make some money that way? You would need to purchase a small wire stripper and some fishing type hanging scales though. I’m planning to buy these tools and am hoping to test it out after new years. Learn from my experience (mistakes) 😅

    Hallo Poly! Ich freue mich immer wieder auf Ihre Videos, aber ich vermisse gerade jetzt das weihnachtlich ausgeschmückte Straßenbild in eurer Region. Gibt es so etwas bei euch nicht? Sie sammeln doch auch Lichterketten, also müssten sie doch auch irgendwann eingesetzt gewesen sein. Fällt bei euch wegen der hohen Temperaturen Weihnachten aus, denn Sie sind immer sommerlich gekleidet?
    Ich wünsche Ihnen auf jeden Fall auch besinnliche Zeit in Ihrer Familie. Mögen Sie alle glücklich und gesund dem Jahreswechsel entgegen gehen. Liebe Grüße aus Frankfurt Oder in Deutschland ❣️👵🦽
