Just so happens that we had some stuff we need to get rid of and that he could sell for scrap! Sooooooooo......we gave him the stuff, he will make a few $$$ for scrap and we get the shit hauled for free! As part of the deal, he offered to help out doing some of the fix-up work I need to do around the house.
Normally we would either have to pay to have the stuff hauled OR a big time scrapper would pay us a pittance for the stuff and make $$$ at the scrap yard on the resale. Our friend generally pays a little for the stuff and makes a few $$$.
With this deal, he gets scrap for free, we get it removed for free AND get a bit of help from the deal.
Fair trade? YEP!
That is good if you are both happy.
Only Scrap is really big business here! so much stuff gets nicked and weighed in for scrap. No one gives the stuff away and anyone who knocks on the door to 'take it away' will make a fortune.
