    Thanks Tom and Tom. As the owner of a new for-profit scrap business I found this interesting but admit I wished for more. I'm learning so much in real time as I grow this new biz.

    Great video! A lot has changed since my days as a kid back in the 70s, collecting cans and bottles for extra money. Now, I do it, on a larger scale, to supplement my VA disability income. I was an electronics repair tech in the AF; I also repaired TVs & home appliances on the side, so I learned early on where all the copper and other precious metals hide. Thanks to the iscrap app, I found an excellent yard with great staff; I get great prices for my metal, and the guys are always more than happy to answer my questions. Thanks for putting out the great videos, because they are also a big help!

    Thank you Tom & Tom. Your videos are friendly, clear and universally informative to all participants of the industry. I represent an “aggressive” Asian low-grade materials buyer. That is the exact description that I use (positively) 😊. Just returned from 6-week US buying tour through ~100 scrap metal facilities. Met lots of great industry people and learning lots everyday. Thank you for providing the foundation to support my clarity and understanding!

    Thank you for the great video! I too have been watching the industry change over the decades. I see many of the same trends you both described! I hope to watch some more of your videos, as I'm always looking for opportunities, and must keep current. Thanks again!

    Great video. I'm just a small time scrapper but I clean almost everything except iron so I feel the more I can learn the easier it is to come up with ways to be more productive thus making more money. Thanks for a great video.

    I wonder how scrap yards find customers/buyers? I guess you still have to go to see the "other party" to verify and validate what you are getting into?

    Hey, I'm a student in business studies and I've been interested in the scrap metal business lately, I know it's very lucrative in a place such as the US but do u know any other countries that have a exponentially good scrap metal side?

    • @iScrapApp
      @iScrapApp  2 роки тому

      Many developed countries have good downstream markets.
      Under developed countries have less infrastructure- thus less scrap.

(Working progress) I'm just in a place now where I don't know whats the next step to make my "hobby" to a career/business.
