Good morning poly it's amazing to see another amazing video from yu hope you're having amazing day

[@y.lelivelt2619]

I always see scrappers take the Christmas lights apart in the yards.

[@andysharp21]

Well done Poly, great day out for you. That partnership you have going with your cuz is working good. Keep up the good work.

[@PolyProphet]

Yes agreed. I’ve been out there for less time and come back much lighter than usual, taking some pressure off the back.

[@PawMom101]

Have a few baskets or totes with you at all times of ya and duck tape. Never know if you'll need them while picking up scrap metal or small stuff

[@user-ic5cj2up8n]

Praying your back gets better good that you guys are doing good .

[@PolyProphet]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@tjdacatlady1920]

Great video Poly! I'm still amazed at Australia's scrap piles in front of the homes.. Hope your back feels better soonest. I'm glad you are taking care of yourself when you lift items. Have you gone back to the chiropractor? Anyway, have a lovely evening. 😚😘💗

[@PolyProphet]

Yes weekly check up for 4 weeks

[@brendataylor5371]

Enjoyed your videos those two beautiful pieces you found look like Crystal get some rest I feel like your back was bothering you today may God bless you and your family

[@michelebrown7951]

Hi Poly, always nice too see you. How have you been feeling? Take care of yourself please. Much love and respect ❤❤

[@PolyProphet]

[@apainintheass1275]

Nice sweet payout 💰💰 great tag along. Have a good weekend 😊

[@dianadean5994]

Great finds kiddo. Hope you are feeling some better. Please take care of yourself don’t worry about scraping till your back is better. Hugs to all. 🥰

[@brockshields9336]

Just over $1,000 for your trip to the big city. Bugs me that ReSteal only pays .14 for metal where Manhari's paying .35 or more. I know you've mentioned that Manhari is by a port to ship to China. Those portable A/C units might be worth accumulating and taking there for a much better price. I guess Ewaste Ben doesn't want to take a chance of showing his face on KZbin. Always fun to follow along on your Scrappy Adventures. Thanks for sharing.

[@PolyProphet]

Yes I was thinking of doing exactly that with any new AC units 👍👍

[@MegaLuke998]

Im a scraper in Sydney pull the aircons apart and can make some really good money

[@johnkranz4004]

Nice haul

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

Thank you for sharing your video the total at the scrap yard was good but unfortunate about the motor/transformer thing. Glad to see you are possibly a little better but please keep protecting your back. Hope to see you again next week 😃

[@silviaB.LL3921]

Hello 😊 never ending srap 😅 but this is good for you😅 go careful with your back😮 and see you in the bext one 🤙😎🇪🇦

[@lukekingi2210]

Chur bro, you're so lucky, you get the goods out there. Sort of makes the 32 degrees at 10am worth it. Boxes of wrapped wires etc. Keep up the good work as always and I hope the back isn't giving you too much grief. You'll still be out there regardless haha all that stuff is too good not to go out. Take care brother Yo

[@PolyProphet]

Chur brother. Can’t resist aye 😂

I wish it was 32 degrees over here in England it’s more like -2 anyway great video as always Poly 👊🏻

[@johnsharp8627]

Thought it looked like there were some nice appliance cords not taken. Am I missing something with those? Isn't there copper in them?

[@PolyProphet]

I don’t remember those appliances 🤔 I must not of seen them 😅

[@johnsharp8627]

@@PolyProphet Maybe some of them were hoses, but thought there were a couple appliance wires. I'm new to scrapping. Wasn't sure if there is copper in all appliance wires.

100m unaided skipdiving champion!. Done good myself this week. Voice commanded satnav- needed a battery boost, works fine worth £50. Fridge freezer, quite new, working. Bedding box, quite ornate, does it's job. 5 broken TV's for parts, listed on eBay expecting £200 profit. Pair of philips Fidelio speaker 100watt, near perfect conditon- keeping, they look and sound great. Other bits and bobs. Also made a friend.

In summers past I’d just start earlier. It’s not multiple hot days in a row yet so keeping it the same for now 👍👍

Nice scrap run, but still seeing a lot of wire on those appliances. Copper wire is still priced decent.

Hope you’re healing well. Can you wear a weight belt to support your back? May help you. Anyway, great job today, well done. ❤️💙

[@PolyProphet]

The sitting for too long is the worst part of it. Ty for the advice 🙏

[@heathermurray9939]

Have you worn a weight lifting belt to protect your back when out scrapping

[@PolyProphet]

The main problem I had was sitting down for too long. My hips and lower back compress and it was uncomfortable.

[@scottbormann2765]

Apparently there are some people that just don't like cutting their grass, your 1st pick up, that grass was so long, sorry I see those things.

Hey poly what is the diffence between that cord and normal cord can you not mix it ?

Sorry mate I can’t remember which cord it was in this vid 🤔

[@maxcloutier5285]

Watched the title : lesson learned. He he, this guy is gone take care of his back more than ever. At the scrap yard, two rows of white good. I told myself, me and this guy do not learn lessons the same way ! And push the lesson to see if his back is good enough for the motor, lol. Oh, the lesson is about the transformers. The microwaves loose a bit of value. Will you continue to take the microwave transformers ? Still a fair price I think. You have a good price for motors, here in Quebec, I have only 18 cents per pound wich is around 40 cents per kilo.

[@PolyProphet]

Yes I’ll still collect them but not sell them like I did in this video. I was saving transformers to check if they were copper copper and ended up with a glut

[@maxcloutier5285]

@@PolyProphet Today, I scapped 4 microwaves. One had a Copper copper transformers. It is the only one I found during the last 6 months. I also found one with a copper inverter. My experience say that there is fewer and fewer with copper. Todays copper microwave was an old vintage

Yes same here mate. I only have a handful of copper copper transformers

I got a question for you and you're an Australian I live in Michigan I have a van it's older but it's nice it's still pretty nice not it's not complete junk it's a 2011 Dodge I'm going to start doing this scrapping I probably won't be able to do it on the level you do it I'm a woman I won't be able to get refrigerators washing machines but I'm going to do with the scrapping place that somebody told me to go to and you know I can take broken my ways and all any suggestions that would help me I'm new to this and I know nothing thank you so much my name is Lisa

[@PolyProphet]

A van is a great start Lisa! I’m not sure but I’m guessing your winters are frozen over? If that’s the case perhaps you can learn as much as you can and hit the ground running in spring. I’m not sure how it works over there but over here tradesmen stockpile scrap like electricians keep really high-quality cable off cuts. Often they have no time to take it to the scrap yard themselves. You could provide a service & pay them for their high-quality cable and then bring it home and strip it and make some money that way? You would need to purchase a small wire stripper and some fishing type hanging scales though. I’m planning to buy these tools and am hoping to test it out after new years. Learn from my experience (mistakes) 😅

[@mikeyoung5211]

Why do you leave all the metal

[@PolyProphet]

Did I?

[@heidemariewilk348]

Hallo Poly! Ich freue mich immer wieder auf Ihre Videos, aber ich vermisse gerade jetzt das weihnachtlich ausgeschmückte Straßenbild in eurer Region. Gibt es so etwas bei euch nicht? Sie sammeln doch auch Lichterketten, also müssten sie doch auch irgendwann eingesetzt gewesen sein. Fällt bei euch wegen der hohen Temperaturen Weihnachten aus, denn Sie sind immer sommerlich gekleidet? Ich wünsche Ihnen auf jeden Fall auch besinnliche Zeit in Ihrer Familie. Mögen Sie alle glücklich und gesund dem Jahreswechsel entgegen gehen. Liebe Grüße aus Frankfurt Oder in Deutschland ❣️👵🦽

[@PolyProphet]

There’s plenty of houses lit up at night! I only go out when the suns up 👍👍

[@heidemariewilk348]

@@PolyProphet Das war mir schon vorher klar, aber es gibt weder Minesänger noch weihnachtliche Figuren oder glitzernde Girlanden oder Kugeln an den Häusern oder Vorgärten. 😅 Logisch, das Sie nur am Tage die Metalle sammeln. 😅 Dennoch müssten überall bei euch Rentiere und bunte Welten von Elfen und Weihnachtsmänner auf den Rasenflächen entstanden sein. Vielleicht habe ich eine falsche Vorstellung von eurem Leben, da ich es mit New York vergleiche. Den Prunk finde ich magisch und wunderschön, da es in Deutschland sparsamer zugeht trotz der Wende.
