Junkyards

A while back someone was posting about Junkyards being a good investment during the downturn. Suddenly it hit me that this was really true (probably after hearing rumors on the radio of the GM bankruptcy).

I'd like to get in the business. I will be available for employment in the february-april timeframe.

I would like to do hard labor, but I also have computer coding and inventory skills, and would like to implement databased junkyards which have asset visibility over makes, years, etc. which will streamline triage efforts and allow for quick and rapid online discovery of parts (so that a mechanic looking for a quick spare will be able to check online if it's likely that we have it and exactly which sectors of the junkyard to search).

You can contact me at (my handle) at yahoo

I turned in about 15 bags of aluminum cans that had cluttered up my garage all summer the other day. I was given $7.50.

I'm throwing them all in the garbage now..recycling is moronic.

I visited a large salvage yard in Chicago a few years back as they were hosting a salvage trade show.... the host yard had 40+ employees. Wow...!
