So where can you find salvage WWII vehicles? I doubt you will be able to go to your local junk yard and find a old WWII vehicle. These trucks and cars are most certainly long gone. The junk yards are able to get too much of a payoff from these metals to have them just sit around. No, I bet the best place to find these vehicles are in private yards.

I like to stop in my local store at least once a week to see what they have. Some of my best finds have been, Barilla plus pasta for.50 a box, canned beets, peas, corn, string beans and diced tomatoes for.25 a can, IAMS 4lb bags of dog food for $2 a bag,.5 liter bottles of Perrier for.25 each, Kelloggs Smart Start cereal for $1 a box, Ken's salad dressings for.25 a bottle, 10lb red potatoes for $2.

Most of the large renting big bear lake boats use a system called a "Hotline." If you call a junkyard and ask whether they carry a certain part, they'll check their inventory database while you're on the phone. If they don't find the part you need in their inventory, they can use their Hotline to quickly check the inventories of neighboring junkyards. A quick tip about the Hotline: ask the junkyard that is checking other yards what that particular part would have cost if they had it in their inventory. You may be able to negotiate the price with the other dealer.

In simple words, it is the value and the ease of extraction that makes it a unique metal. Pure metal extraction from other alloys is not at all easy. Even a child can extract silver from junk - provided he is guided properly.

One of the main factors that work in favour of scrap silver is that it's cheaply available in junk markets.

scrap gold represents any item that contains gold that you no longer use, but can be reprocessed. For example, do you own a bracelet that has broken or become damaged? Do you own necklaces for which you no longer have a need? Do you own rings with missing gems? Even the filings from a goldsmith are considered scrap that can be reprocessed. Each of these items (and hundreds more) can be sold for a competitive price to online gold buyers.

Don't buy the first bike that you see. Take your time and bring a friend with you that knows a lot about bikes so that both of you can inspect the bike. This is very important because purchasing a bike is usually an impulse buy. Your friend will not be connected to the purchase so he can give you a honest opinion.
