What counted most of all to me, when shopping at a salvage grocery store, was when we checked out. We were always surprised out how little we had spent on our cart full of groceries.

Prior to sending in your gold, it is a best to remove anything of value from it. If you are selling rings, for example, remove any stones out or remove the gold of the item so one can weight the gold one by one. Always remember that other alloys such as silver, platinum and the stones may also have their own values. If you can separate them, that is better. If not ensure that it is clear and that there is other valuable metal and get a price for those materials also.

Restoring a classic car means finding the original parts and options for a particular model. This means that if you own a Cuda with a broken Hemi engine, you need to find a stock Hemi in order to restore it. Paint is a different matter. While the authentic paint of a certain make may not be existent today, there are several car services that offer the color of that make, thus making it still look original.

You’ll want to get a list of sell wrecked car in the area first. Try using a local directory, or a service like Google maps. Then you’ll want to head outside and measure your car’s tires. This is the most important step for a great fit! Pull out your spare and start measuring that. If you don’t have the spare, you can measure a regular wheel.

Plenty of websites are willing to pay top prices for these old pieces of gold. Just look around your house, it is guaranteed that you will find something to sell.

With this basic business model in mind, your primary task will then be to identify places where you can obtain old jewelry. In many ways, this will be your «above ground» mine. One great source to find scrap gold is at estate sales. Any time you see that there is an estate sale happening, you should attend when possible. It also makes sense to try to advertise to people who might have a need to raise quick money. You can help someone by buying their unwanted gold items, but then turn around and recoup the cost plus extra by selling everything. Just be careful to avoid paying more than an item is worth. Remember, you have to turn around and sell the scrap for profit.

What makes them work is the fact that these junk yards possess auto parts that may not be found in local auto parts stores. This is because there are certain vehicles that are made in other countries that require their parts to be ordered. There are also some cars that are so old the parts cannot be found just anywhere. That is another instance in which the part may need to be ordered from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, that can be extremely expensive.

You will have to order from a few of these sites to see whether or not you like the customer service. Keep in mind that it is good to deal with a solid customer service center that uses real people instead of automated calling robot answering machines and touch tone phone options. This is a growing concern of mine and I suggest that you pay close attention. I had to deal with companies that had horrible customer service.

The next technique is to be very thorough and meticulous in inspecting potential autos you want to bid on. Do not end your inspection just by looking at the auto’s exterior but instead, make it a point to inspect its parts, interiors, and the engine. Many salvage cars have figured in vehicular accidents so you want to make sure that the one you pick is still in a very good condition. If possible, bring a mechanic with you when going to an auction, unless if you are very knowledgeable about vehicles.

This is a very good question! There are so many ads on the TV, the radio and the newspapers all asking for your scrap metal. Well, I would caution you about going to any of those places. NONE of them will pay you anywhere near what you should receive for the precious metals you are turning in for scrap. In fact, most of them will be either reselling your jewelry at a tidy profit, or they are going to sell it to either of these places that I am going to tell you about. They just don’t want you to know that.
