Default Why A Huge chunk of Total Profits In The JunkYard Came from Barter

Thanks Dien,

Dave just sent me more detail.

He figures in the 1980's when he ran his Junk Yard - Barter made up 15K
a year of his profits.

========

How Barter Made The Brutal
Hard Work at The Junk Yard
HIGHLY Profitable & Even Fun

We'll let Dave tell you about it.

"Some of my friends were traveling salesmen visiting
industrial or automotive businesses.

"These guys would "bird dog" for me, which is to say, recommend me to any business owner
who wanted something that they considered junk removed.

"These salesmen were deep into cars in one way or another, usually racing,
so naturally they got the same "come and get it" deal - from me - whenever they wanted anything.

"I would give them ANYTHING they wanted - from the junk yard - with a big smile and no questions asked.

"These guys, while doing their sales routes, got to go where no one off the street could ever go.

"Time after time they found spectacular deals for me.

"Often free to me to get the stuff.

"Thanks,
"Dave
