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 for watching! We are happy you liked it! Keep up the great work and if you have any other topic ideas you would like to hear about, let us know!
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!
While I really enjoyed the information from the video I was also heart felt proud to see such a caring professional and loving relationship between Father and son.
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.
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 job was interesting to see your Dads point if veiw ! You guys probably could have talked for hours ! Look forward to the next guest and their knowledge of the scrap business! Scrap on!
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?
I am currently working on e-waste. Ican only get as much material I can physically process. So I want to hire someone to help me. Every day i further my experience in gold recovery. (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.

I have customers outside of USA that are buyers need some info on how to purchase and how rates work etc

Outstanding video gentlemen.
Glad you enjoyed it

Many developed countries have good downstream markets.
Under developed countries have less infrastructure- thus less scrap.
Enjoy your videos . Funny stuff melting transmission's ...
Thank you for watching and we appreciate it! Glad you took some time to watch.
Great conversation!
