Best Payout Ever?! Scrap Metal Pickup - Scrapping The Lab

- Who wanted a giant scrap haul??? We got a giant scrap haul!!
I got a call to pickup a whole pile of metal for recycling. Which was fantastic! But here's the kicker; I have no idea what any of this stuff is. SO that means I have my work cut out for me determining what is what. The bonus being, we might be able to sell some of it for a LOT of money! Join me in a scrap sorting afternoon and we'll find out together just how much we can make from all this.
Here are the wire cutters I like!: amzn.to/3adv7kz

"You could make a bong out of it." Got a good chuckle from me, that used to be a specialty of mine.
Cracked up when I saw the Hydra. I used to work at Teledyne. I wasn't in that division, I worked with the unmanned vehicles but fun to see the Teledyne bat wings again. 😂 I actually learned how to use a closed cup flash point when I was in the Navy. Very cool pick up.
Super cool pile of stuff! Sounds like you would have been much more at home with this than I am 😊
@ 16:37, "...this thing here..." is a separatory funnel! I've used them in a chemistry lab, they can be valuable and are easily sold on ebay! You got quite the nice haul from your friend at the lab! The heaters are used for round bottom flasks, hence the bowl shaped heating dish. It's amazing to see these expensive machines broken down to their basic scrap metal value. Love the content, keep doing the thing!
I reeeaallly wanted to break down the bigger fancier things, but I know in my heart it’s a huge waste. Perhaps I’ll still have some leftovers, then I can crack into them after all!
I find loads of things I have no clue what they are. I've surrendered to the notion I'm unwilling to learn everything about EVERYTHING - Unattainable knowledge. I'm staying focused on my scrapping basics or even less lol
Hey that’s totally fair. I’m always interested in learning and exploring but there is a point where all you’re doing is getting distracted 😅
Truer words have never been spoken
I want to give a thanks and they shout out to you and scrap and pallet man and the rest of scrapping gods and pandas I just want to say thank you for showing me the way to scrap and making money on the side and I want to thank y'all I look up to y'all and keep up what you doing and God bless yall
@@thubprint THAT is how I ended up with a crap load of stuff that I am still sifting through. I am OCD, a rabid environmentalist, and ended up in a household where the person who had the lease in his name "lost it". I inherited a share of the "crap karma" on the way out, and the process of breaking it down for maximum efficiency is a sort of cathartic therapy for me.
I am going to write it out as a cautionary note about the "balance of scrapping", or so that people can recognize a slight tendency in themselves and by imagining it run amok can feel gratitude for such sanity as they have.
The guy:
Bad relationship after horror show childhood (details not needed)
=
neurological triggers switched, breakers blown
Permanent drive towards distraction and rejection of responsibility or completion of anything (completion is a sort of responsibility to the mind set in question, because you never have to say "I didn't do it" if you are never done anything).
This manifested as novelty seeking behaviour, "Curious George" to the power of "Ooh what's this?"; I would bet that anyone reading this can relate at least a little to that because it is a natural part of how a scrapper's perception/action cycle operates, but THIS was the extreme.
The damage done to the guy at a developmental age, and which had "come back" with a vengeance was the same as what lies behind some compulsive gamblers, or even some cases of pyromaniacs or worse.
More, more, more, forget, more, repeat.
He filled a 5 bedroom house with 7 people and two living rooms, plus backyard and carport.
It was slow at first, and nine of us really understood what was happening, he just started bringing stuff home. At first, it was interesting, a lot of it was vintage or almost antique tech, and of course a lot of it was metal that he claimed he was going to recycle for cash.
None of us really could grasp that the way that stuff was coming but not leaving was IT, the only setting that the process had.
The relationship that was what drove the connection between "now" and the "way back when" that short circuited the guy? She was understandably NOT happy about the rapidly filling house, and that just spurred it on (obviously).
The fellow kept on coming up with plans to make what he was doing rational, few of them realistic and none of them complete.
Collection of cigarette foils was one. THAT is NOT a viable cottage industry.
Eventually he discovered that he could raid electronics that were dumped in front of a local recyclers.
He would drag stuff home, take it apart just far enough that it would be irreparable, and then forget it while hunting back alleys for the next "fix of acquisition".
I started dismantling stuff and sorting it I order to try to get ahead of him, hoping that maybe he would at least pick up the habit.
Nope, every space that was opened up was just another place to fill.
The thrill of "scoring" something.
The indulgence of curiosity.
The satisfaction of bringing something ridiculously large and heavy back to one's layer (vestigial hunters instinct, I suspect )
Projects of organization started, but never completed.
We can all relate, but this was a matter of sheer VOLUME. Not only was he filling the house and environs with enough mixed metals and sundry crsp that the house wifi signal was beginning to attenuate from scattering effects, he threw off the local "street ecology by grabbing so much stuff that "legitimate " scavengers couldn't find anything of worth.
This is, again, just something to consider and a mild caution if anyone ever notices their own behaviour shifting in certain ways as a reaction to stress.
I knew things were not going to end well at the point where life started to turn into a bad movie.
That was the day that he proudly came home with an enormous Chinese shrine, complete with porcelain figurines, a vase, and scraps of paper that someone had apparently been writing on and then burning (judging from the tiny pile of paper ashes).
He cut it apart to make shelving for above his bed.
Fast forwarding to months later once I was safely free from the deteriorating situation and talking with someone else who would visit the house occasionally.
I learned the "final facepalm" (on top of the reports of "being touched while sleeping" by house guests who found no one when they woke up, the one wandering monk type who turned pale and almost bolted from the house while describing something above the roof laughing (not the only account), and a host of other events including the arrival of a bumbling Italian gangster named (of course) ' Tony').
The insane guy at the centre of all of that had not just turned the shrine into a piece of bedroom furniture.
He had also been using the ashes that he found in what was not a case, but an urn(!), to clean out his meth pipe (he got into that about halfway through the decaying spiral).
Cherish your sanity.
I wish I could do that..I'm trying to keep it basic but some things must be sold or salvaged but it cuts into scraportunities.
They way you just looked in disgust at the *vwaaaaaam* was wonderful
realy awsome video
great one
Good work.
You are one of the coolest guys on CZcams man! Love watching your videos!
Thank you! 😁 Im just being me, but I appreciate your kind words 😊
Keep doing the thing and go for the more money
Deal!
an old trick my gramps taught me when out hunting or picking, a small disk magnet in a glove is a rather good way of concealing, the magnet test if required from sight
That sounds kinda shady but it’s actually a great idea and I can picture myself using it at yard sales etc. Thanks!
I refurbish and sell old guitars and I totally agree with you. Sometimes the best thing to do is wait. Your instincts are solid. Wait this is a two year old video, ha. You made the right decision. 😂
I think it is wise to take the time and pursue a better overall value from the items IF you genuinely believe you can find buyers for it. A few weeks of time invested to potentially quadruple (or more) the offer you did get seems worthwhile? I know some would say a bird in the hand and all that as $1500 instant turn around does seem tempting. Imho you have done the right thing - good luck finding those buyers - rooting for you:) and thx again for another interesting video.
And thank you for the support! Gonna do my best to make the most of it 👍
This was a good one....made my Friday night. So....to take the money and run or piece it out......if you can sit on it, have the space, time to list it, time to ship it......sit on it....make more money.....
Hoping it works out!
Sell it off one at a time, shipping individually won't be much even sending down here in the states and reap the rewards of your hard work, remember your time is valuable... never sell yourself short!!! Good luck!
Thank you, will do!
Wow! Well like the saying goes good things come to those who wait, and no your decision makes sense i mean how many times are you going to come across a load like this just keep doing what you're doing and selling these things will be the cherry on the top of all your hard work. Great self discipline!. Make sure to keep us up to date when an item is sold.
Will do bud! I think you and I are on the same wavelength with this stuff, and because I’m not relying on the reselling to support me it gives me the freedom to do that.
@@thubprint yup true dat!! Lol . I hope you get top dollar for that stuff!. You have a great rest of your weekend my friend much love and respect from out here in Caliitssofreakenhotfornia! Lol
Lab glass can be bucks. I recently sold some. $60. Those pieces look good. I bought 2 huge microwave digesters and a Lab sample analyzer and lab glass. Tried to sell, took them apart. Messed myself up moving the microwaves, very heavy. Tore them all apart. Have a couple capacitors. Sold copper and brass. Lot of coils. Fans and stuff. Microwave generators. Tossed a lot of garbage.
Your stuff? I'd work on selling it. Moe money Moe money!
Definitely gonna try sell it first! Sounds like your stuff didn’t totally pay off (unless it was super cheap) but at least you had fun! 😆
@@thubprint It wasn't super profitable. More work than it was worth, but fun. I made some attempts at sales at labs, but the stuff was pretty obsolete. I damaged my shoulder getting one of the decomposers out of the car.
@@tblbaby that’s kinda what I’m worried about here, I don’t know how quickly this stuff goes through it’s useful life so if theres nobody who wants to use it I may regret my decision 😅
@@thubprint your sonic clearer is SCORE. Some of that stuff could hit nice. You're risking a little for what could be good money. I like what you're doing. I'm under the gun here, so a bit pushed.
I always cut the brass off of the hoses, totally worth it!
I used that kind of scale for weighing hockey card packs, every pack that had special card was tiny piny (0.010-0.030 of a gram) different weight. Rest of I sold, unopen.
Oooo, that’s nasty! I respect the cleverness though 👍
Worth taking some time to sell - there is money there. University labs may buy used equipment. Is it worth packing the truck and doing a road trip to the US to sell? Mega-score Thub!
I would definitely find more potential buyers in the US. The American outfits I spoke to didn’t seem interested in the least however
@@thubprint medical equipment that comes into America has to be inspected and ensured its up to America"standards" but you do have money. Find Mennonite or a Mexican clinic and you'll find your buyers there
I'm with you. I'd spend a few extra weeks because with all that you could buy yourself a trailer.
your videos have taught me a lot....thanks Rp
Definitely take a shot at selling it yourself. That’s a huge amount of money
Fingers crossed on this one!
Glass things look like some cool bongs
Ikr? 😆
Thumbs UP
Great video. Need to convince my other half I'm not a hoarder, gotta start selling.🙂
I love to have some of those equipments. They have a lot of values to them. But what you did with them was best at that point.
there are a lot of youtube science channels that might want some of that stuff.
Vehicle driving by and got scared! HAHA.
Good call on flipping the stuff for bigger returns. Hope you get great $$ :)
Me too!
Great video
Thank you!
Happy Father's Day to you, Your Thubness!
Thank you so much Molly! 😊
Great video thub!
Thank you 😊
It's smart to take a shot. Gotta do that for the big hauls when you get them. Hopefully you can set it aside for some kind of retirement.
Looking forward to getting paid though!
Hello fellow trash panda. As a owner of one of the best metal forges on the market (Devil Forge) unfortunately you will still have to do repairs on it now and then and I would suggest saving the refractory material. Free is better than spending money! Put it in a vacuum bag and toss it on a shelf. Ps melting copper and brass is super fun 😄
Alright, fair point! I’ll flatten it out and keep the good bits 👍
I love your huge garage
It’s alright! 😁 not enormous but big enough to pull a car in and spread some tools out around it 👍
Way to go!
Stoked ☺️
Wow a 37 min thubprint show
Let's watch it
😁
Great video as always, makes the night shift pass a bit faster!
Oh I’m very happy to help!
GWAT we all have been waiting for
Trying my best to deliver!
@@thubprint may we be the path 🙌
Mercury analyzer could be use for gold mining measurements
At 24:07 those are magnetic stirrer with heating elements. Found this at wikipedia Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_stirrer . A stir bar mixing a solution on a combined hot-plate magnetic-stirrer device; the left knob controls the stirring rate and the right knob controls heating. I used similar onces while I was working in a chem lab. Stay safe and blessings
Hi again. If you think of cleaning the lab tools use isopropanol or ethanol and try it on a hidden part. No acetone please, because it makes things dull and blind ;-)
I know what all of that stuff does - earn Thub some grub! I wouldn't know what to do with most of it either except for the scale.
We’re gonna find out one way or another!
Can you not sell those apparatus things for parts and repair untested? I hate to suggest that because I would not know how to even start the process and don't really want to learn. But I know some of those pieces would sell for more than scrap prices. Love what you do and your enthusiasm for what you do. THANKS.
A person can sell whatever they like of course! My problem with these is I don’t have the time or the space to just hold all of it, so that sort of forced the tone of this video. Quick decisions, quick turnover, quick quick quick! Sort of an unfortunate way to end it with backpedaling on all that 😅
Long video which is braw, hammer time again: sweet! Pile of good stuff already sorted and scrapped, excellent.
I'm glad you're going to take the time to resell the good kit. Not only will you make more out of it in the end, you should also learn a few useful lessons along the way. Thon initial offer of $1.5K was cheeky, but understandable. But kit like that deserves a second chance, waste of resources to scrap it then make new ones.
Nice one on playing the long game, you should be able to get by with your usual mischiefs until the paydays come along and you'll be all the happier when it all comes together nicely.
Certainly hoping so! I’m looking forward to sharing some results 👍
"You could make a bong out of it, you could bake cookies with it"
LMAO
Whatever one’s heart desires!
I am so pleased with how you are developing your Chanel. I’ve watched since you were in the 2000 subscribers. Just keep being you, you are a star.🌟😊🌟
Thank you so much for being here all this time! I worry that shifting from bottle picking to more scrap focused would lose a bunch of people who were following along but I’m really glad you’re still here 😊
I’ve got more changes planned too, but nothing extreme! I’ll be counting on your support 💙 and thanks again!
@@thubprint I love the switch to scrap metal, bottlepicking is still cool and sometimes when you still pick them up it would be nice to get an update on them but I like the direction you went.
I would sell : more simple. But I understand you : so I hope you'll win more with patience and research!
Yeah, there’s definitely some appeal to having it finished and done
Happy father day
Thank you 😊
I have done EXACTLY the same thing and have no regrets. It's about the money, AND the satisfaction of a win. Good luck with it bruh...... don't take the offer!!
Thanks man! Gonna do my best and see how big it can get!
Great vid. Love the micro scrapping.
love the vids, keep them coming, i find your scrap antics extremely entertaining, and ive learned so much, you have truley helped me blast off even further into the scrap world
Nice! I’m really just dicking around and trying to get paid but I’m glad I manage to be entertaining and helpful!
Good load not too bad hope you did good with that stuff I would have held onto it too I wouldn't have did it for $1500 eiter. The best day I ever had was me and my older brother $4600 some lady gave us a ton of copper and brass in Somerville mass her husband just died and was a plumber try to go back the next day to give her a $500 but she would not take a dime. sent thank you card and some chocolates but scrap pays off now I'm up in Maine been buying it up here have about a ton
It's possible that the mesh was a precious metal. Platinum? Palladium? Just possible. The convection oven would be killer for incubating microbes if it goes low enough! Thub or "Thumbs?" That analytical balance had me drooling. I used a lot of that stuff when I was taking agronomy classes. If I were still teaching . . .This was fun! Thanks, Thub! (Do you have a good respirator? I worry about you working with asbestos and these heavy metals.)
I have a good proper respirator, yes! I doubt the mesh was precious but probably high heat resistant. I’m hoping to keep the balance tbh, it’s pretty crazy how accurate it can be even to a tiny degree! In hindsight I wish I had filmed this more carefully and shown the balance and the grinder and the ultrasonic all working, not to mention the cases of glassware I got too.
I was going through it hastily, and I guess that behaviour affected my video as well. It still took three weeks to make because I was stalled out waiting for the replies! That’s why it might feel like there’s a pt1 and a pt2 stuck together, because there is 😅
@@thubprint - Well, it was hella exciting!
Loving it cool video
Thanks! It was a bit of a different one for me, I hope it’s enjoyable to watch 😌
Don’t know if you sold that sonic cleaner but keep it because it will make you money. With old crusty silver parts especially silver socket receptacles clean it with simple green to remove all the grime then give it The Silver tarnex dip. Then you can sell it on eBay.
I use my sonic leader to clean my Ruger stainless steel handgun and I absolutely love it. Some people that reload I see use it to clean their brass shell casings.
One time I loaned it to a neighbor for him to clean his barrel Holley carburetor that had all sorts of carbon buildup and clogged fuel injectors that was going to be replaced. After he had it in the sonic cleaner for a few hours cleaned all the carbon off the Holly carburetor including the fuel injectors that was going to be replaced. Because it was 95% clean he was gonna let it clean for another half hour but Accidentally had a extended sleeping nap. Many hours later he wakes up and looks at his carburetor. The sonic cleaner vibrated all his chrome off his carburetor🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤫🤫😁.
Note if you don’t want things getting scratched in the basin use the green goldfish net suspended in the simple green solution.
I have not tried cleaning dirty copper in it to get a higher grade recycle price at the scrapyard but it may be something for you to try.
Simple green huh? I have a different ultrasonic cleaner but I wasn’t sure what to use in it. That laundry net idea is an easy excellent tip!
@@thubprint not a laundry net but a green goldfish net for pet store goldfish. 👍
I should’ve been more descriptive about using Silver Tarnex cleaner. After you clean your parts in the sonic cleaner simple green solution.Rinse and dry.Then give it the Tarn x dip.After the job is done rinse thoroughly so you don’t get the tarn X crusty’s Dry it with a hairdryer.
Another subject I saw you, that you don’t like coax cable. Note some high-end coax cable has silver braiding and center conductor instead of being copper.
Silver has many property’s it’s 20% less resistive than copper for running voltage through it. Not to mention anti-corrosive benefits don’t know if that electrolysis comes into play with electronic components.
Electrolysis happens with two different metals with voltage.
Another bunny trail with silver having to do with electricity. During World War II the Manhattan project building the nuke bomb had to go to the coinage mint and have a bunch of coins melted so they can have the wire for their project. It is quite interesting you should look it up I forget if it was on the history channel or on CZcams or whatever it was a decade or two ago but it is an interesting piece of history.
I know I know TMI (too much information).😁
A commodities commentary save your silver because it is far too cheap especially because there’s more paper silver in the market to be sold than actual above ground silver. But the criminals in the industry won’t say the King has no clothing. This is my perspective.
I’m going to need updates! Let me know when you get stuff sold!
Will do! 👍
Same here, definitely curious to learn what comes of these lab relics.
@@thubprint did you sell the stuff
@@douglasmcintosh7313 no haha, it’s basically all still here
I've always wanted a mercury analyzer since I was a kid! Will give you 10 us dollars for it.
😆 I’m gonna hold out for a better offer, but I’ll keep you in mind!
@@thubprint I'll trade ya. Found a medical laboratory sterilizer that I think works. If not the wash tub has to be at least 25 pounds of stainless steel. Was my best find of the week.
Since you made me envious of your find the other week had to pick up a dryer for a customer and he payed me with 100 pounds of copper flashing. Not sure if he knew what it was worth but didn't argue.
Okay, dang! That’s a pretty fantastic bonus, hope you treated yourself!
How much are you looking to get for the magnetic stirring hot plate? Been looking to get one
@@justinmcivor2848 pm me on one of the links in the video descriptions 👍
I agree with your decision, It would be one thing if their offer was 40-50% of the total value.
But 10-15% of a potentially 5 figure total? To paraphrase Admiral Farragut lol, "Damn the low offers, full speed ahead"!
I respect your decision, but if it were me, easy come easy go, get it out the door quick to make room for more stuff coming in. Just my two cents… great video as always
It definitely would be nice to have it gone and cash in hand
Most labs don't buy used equipment, at the very least they will buy certified refurbished equipment. I would suggest pricing used items at 15% their original value and new items at 50% their original value. If you are able to get the equipment varified, certified refurbished, then expect 40-60% original value. I'm not sure what you have beyond the ultrasonic cleaner, but if it is specifically lab equipment and not new, $1500 may have been a reasonable price, at the very least you may have been able to make a counter offer.
I tried the counter offer and they wouldn’t go for it, but I had the same concerns. The market for this specialized stuff might very well be focused on new equipment and used ‘as is’ condition stuff could be quite difficult to find a buyer for. We’ll see!
I really think you should have had a mask to clean that heater with the insulation.
Yeeaaahhh.. you’re absolutely right
Do all you can to make the most money hope you the best at it
Thanks!
Mercury analyzer? Nile Red
"I would make more money selling that and setting everything else on fire!" Hahaha 🤣🤣 I think I laughed more than necessary at that comment! What a great haul Thub! For mine - I'd definitely retail items individually over time (but then I am a professional secondhand dealer as you probably know!). My logic usually works that a quick turnover is good when you are time poor and have plenty more deals to do - but if individual retailing is likely to generate better than say $50 an hour for your time, then store and do some marketing when time permits 👍😊
Pallet man
take your time and sell it, if you get left with some, go back to the company and sell what's left, or try to get a better offer on the whole lot from them
They may not be interested if I’ve sold all the easy flips already, but I think it’s worth a try!
I hope you do well selling the equipment on your own but it seams to me that they got rid of the stuff because it was not functioning. I hope you do a follow up video. I'm curious on how it work out. good luck👍
For all that equipment I personally would pass on the $1500 and sell it all individually for the larger profit.
Wow-- what an amazing score. If I were you, I'd be doing exactly what you're doing./ If I were me, I'd take the cash and run. Where I am, and at my age and skill level (and interest/curiosity), I go for the least amount of 'scrapping out' and all non-ferrous. In Maine, the dumps (mine is less than 2 miles from my home) let you take what you want from the dump piles, so it's all about the copper, brass, wire and alum. Plus I have a guy who actually comes to me (ME!) and weighs and pays out what the local scrap buyers are paying. Without me driving at all. Crazy times. Love your channel- and seeing what you're up into next! Keep doin the thing!-- and Cheers from Maine!
Thanks for sharing! I totally understand the quick turnaround, that’s why the decision was such a difficult one. I think it’ll work out though. That sounds like a great system you’ve put together! 😁 I grew up in a small town and the dump we had was pretty much the same, the big city is a totally different scenario though. If that was allowed here I imagine the piles would be crawling with scavengers all the time, it would be impossible for them to work!
Leave it better than you found it 😉
Take a leg from a pair of jeans and put the switches in them and smack away...keeps stuff from flying.
That’s a great idea!! Wish I knew that for the silver video.. I’ll add it to the comments! 👍
Reselling stuff is definitely easier said then done I do resell stuff occasionally but my brother is rly into it and he can sometimes have stuff sitting for months to me it’s not always worth it so I rly can’t blame you
I’ve been through both scenarios and tbh I was happy to send it all off to someone else, but my friend wanted to take a crack at it so I figured I’d take the chance. It’s true, reselling can be a slog
Analytical scales, lab glassware... my friend, I'd love this stuff! I have a minor in chemistry, with my own "small" lab.
Edit: Get a hold of me, many things there I know what they are. I'm interested in the stirring hotplate. We could get together and go through the stuff you kept! Glad I ran into you yesterday!
M8 in regards to your treasure findings , if I may suggest e-bay for a faster profit , and also following the guidelines of the Ferengi in star trek. Those rules of acquisition can make you quite a bit of profit like rule num 82 , the flimsier the product the higher the profit. ( I do hope and pray that my jest is understood ; since , I wouldn't do that to anyone . )
I'm thrilled to see your finds and keeping up with your videos . Keep up the good work. God bless y'all.
I should watch some more Star Trek! The ferengi sound a lot sketchier than I thought lol
Never let the drill slip light that.....
What's good brotha? Danny from NY. Hell yeah wait. And go for that 5-figure number. After you let it be known you got a $1,500 offer, you laughed exactly the way I would of. Solely knowing the absurd and absolutely disrespectful Low offer that truly is . We Cut from the same different cloth.homie. as for the $1,500 guy. swing and a misss dude LOL. Glad you did your home work. Good luck One...
I hope I don’t regret it, haha!
Interesting
I thought so!
that deep blue means it's dissolving into solution and the white stuff is prolly silver nitrate
Ohh, so I may be dissolving silver? That’s not what I want..
@@thubprint yes you are but it's like totally snail slow
@@thubprint check out sreetips if you wanna learn
That’s sick
It was super fun to pick through!
I would wash my hands andclothing after handling that laboratory equipment, it being that dirty it is most likely contaminated with chemicals.
I'd take the money and run, BUT I would also want to try and get the big dollars if I had the time and space to do it.
It’s a compromise, hopefully it works out 😊
Spend a few weeks see if you can do better that’s what I would do. I get a lot of stuff recently that I have no clue about and you can see that in my videos. I’m not sure if I’m gonna sell it in a whole lot or if I’m gonna sell it individually. I know individually it takes longer to sell but the profit is worth the time.
True with everything, just have to pick and choose some things over others. I’m hoping this was the right choice, but it’s a small amount of high value items so I think I can make it worth it.
You should contact fellow youtuber NilesRed. He would know more about alot of those things. I do believe he is a from Canada too.
I love NileRed, I watch his stuff all the time! Is he really Canadian though? I assumed since he got a lot of views he must be in the US 😅
i'll buy the glass
Dm me 👍
Thub, I messaged you a while back on Instagram about all the metal coming out of the dumpster rentals and my God every 6 bins were filling up a 10 yard of mixed metal nevermind all of the cables, you need to come see the operation.
I do need to see that! Lemme see if I can find the message, and thanks for thinking of me 😁
@@thubprint I deleted the Instagram account but you did message me back. It took me 2 years but I'm finally getting a mini transfer station up and going. It'll be insane like with 6 dumpsters at least 2000 lbs in steel and we have over 100 lbs in copper wire😱
Oh good, sometimes I take forever to reply to those 😅
That sounds fantastic though, so stoked for you! Congratulations on seeing some killer results from all your hard work 👌👌👌
@@thubprint in the last 5 days, $650 in metal, I did the calculations and if we were to have last month's revenue, it would be $30,000 Canadian in scrap per month, absolutely insane👍
Is there a video on the end results of the equipment you sold?
That 6 hole glass, still got? $$$ you want
Steam punk art
just last week i thought to myself, if only i knew someone selling a Mercury tester lol jk but that pretty cool
Why r y’all fighting over first y’all are still going to watch the full video
It may be a stupid game but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun 😆
Got a point there
You're doing a great job with inventory control, only store valuable items, keep things moving out! Space is $$$$ Get creative with your space!
Gonna have to build upwards pretty soon 🙂
@@thubprint I have lanes in my shop or the "storage unit" as I affectionately call it. I work in a school district and we're surplusing schools as we go, so I ahem "liberate" scrap/nuts/bolts/old crap as we go through them to clean them up for demo.
I am all for quick turn over but you don't get the opportunity to make 5 figures every day. Good call try and sell. If it is a hassle just remember you get better with practice
Did that jar turn clear again? There is an IODINE CLOCK reaction that changes from clear to purple back n fourth in a timely manner...maybe color faded?
It has clarified again, even though it has been sitting in the dark now.. I’m so confused!

Let me share this with you...sell the few items you know you can turn...pay the mortgage and the lights and put some milk in the fridg'...Then call "Doctors With Out Borders" donate the rest for 25% retail, they will 1098-C you and get your money back from the government! Baby that is what is called a win...win!
Ohh, nice!
Hey Thub, I am seeing this one year later. Did you sell the gear for a good price in the end, or are you kicking yourself for passing up the $1500?
You can make a bong out of it hahaha What a great pickup!!! Hope you all the best in selling all of that but I would do the same and try to sell!! Happy Father’s Day man 🤙
Thanks Marcus! Happy Father’s Day to you too buddy, bit late from me but lots of love all the same 💙
Try some pawn shops for some of the stuff
I’m not sure if they’d take much of it but the more widely useable stuff maybe!
@@thubprint pawn shops will take anything they think they can make money on
Looking for chaneleir parts
Hey Thub, Please wear a mask around anything fibrous, those small particles do a job on your lungs over the long term and i want way more videos.
Wow, just gonna go straight for the heart like that huh? 😂
Making a very clear point, and I appreciate it. Will do 👍
Have you thought about reaching out to the local college/university in regards to selling the units for classes and research studies?
I hadn’t thought of that yet!
The micro grinder, if still have. What’s your sell, ship to US?
I’m thinking I should be able to get 1k for it, but shoot me an offer 👍
Since you know the person who sales large dollar items, no brainer to sell everything.
That’s exactly it, I was fully prepared to pack it all up on a pallet and take the deal but my contact offered to take a shot at it and store it. Made it an easy choice.
