I have a place to get rid of almost anything , I have a pile of water heaters, washers and dryers, lawn mowers all metal and a couple of cars all in the back of a lot of mine , looks like JUNK , but its about $ 4000.00 of scrap steel .I will load a truck with old wood furniture , tables bed sets etc and take them to a auction 50 miles away and I adverage , $ 500 a trip when I clean out a house .

You start showing them you are a person that brings REAL deals to the table and you won't have any issues finding them, that I can promise you.
