Ya just gotta love friends who believe in the "fair trade" principle!
One of our friends stopped by today to discuss a business matter regarding a fundraiser we're participating in. While here he mentioned that he was going on a run to search for scrap that he could haul away and turn in.
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!
