JunkYard Barter Story -

When I owned a junkyard I would get a steady stream of junk cars from some of
the best sources. Places like auto repair shops, stock car racers, shade tree
mechanics and even other junkyards.

The trick was to let them have any parts they wanted for free.

They were stunned that I would do that for them.

Most junkyard owners give away NOTHING, not to mention their hostile attitude.

My customers put a huge value on the free parts but I would usually end up
selling most of that stuff as scrap for a few cents a pound anyway, so not much
out of pocket for me to give it away.

The result?

The input from this alone was easily a third to a half of my incoming material and
a major source of word of mouth referrals to other prime supply sources.

---------------------------------------
Go ahead and use that any way you want. Same deal as usual, use my name or
not, whatever suits you.

Dave
