Scrap metal on my Beddie
« on: June 15, 2010, 12:47:45 PM »
Well guys i must admit i even surprised myself how much crap i have collected over a few years. This was what i chucked out because i have to clean up our back yard for the misses. I am off to the scrap yard to see what i can get for it. I will let ya know how much i get for it...

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

G'day

We are getting $450/ton for batteries out here in the bush. At 50 batteries to the ton that works out at $9 each.
A few years back a mate brought 1000 batteries down from Nyngan and got 3c each for them. He didn't even cover his fuel costs. He has since died and I bet he is rolling in his grave.

John
For $107 how many beers did he get out of that esky, and are there any more in it for the next run, given I've missed the last two.
I didnt realise they would pay for crap like old tin etc.  I might see if i have a load myself.
cheers

what a waste of perfectly good steel, you should have just used some of the steel to make a nice compact rack to hold the rest of it.. ;)

Matte
I am afraid I also keep this crap just in case, but I dont have room so it makes my yard look more crap than it is. And I will never have a use for it as I cant weld, but who knows just in case....

Gotta get those brownie points on the board so i can spend some big hours on my beddie van project down the track!!! ;D ;D ;D
