How do
you meet the local scrapper? ;-)
Generally, with a wad of $20 bills in hand. :-)
I meant more generally how do you bump into them and establish enough
of a relationship that they'll give you a 'heads up' when they
encounter something you'd be interested in, like 19" racks, mainframe
or minicomputer iron, etc.
Spend several months going there, until you get to the point you're going 3-5
times a week.
You mean going there to look over what they have? Assuming, of
course, that they're willing to retail something to you.
