Global Banking Issues - by Marc Azous

The real problem around the world is that most people do not have debit or credit cards as their bank or country do not allow the masses to have them. Therefore no online business can take place. I should also add most people do not have bank accounts in general.

Therefore they can't send or receive wire transfers. How do they expect business to get done???

Banks around the world need to move into the 21st century.

Scrap Metal Deals - Numbers Game

I used to think 1 out of every 100 people in scrap were real. Not it's about 1 in 250. I can no longer tell who is a real buyer - as they usually turn out to be traders or brokers. Suppliers - I have zero trust in til I see the scrap with my own eyes.

alibaba is the worst. 1 out of 1,000 people is capable of doing real business. 'trade key and 'ec robot' and 'ec plaza' are even worse. In 10+ years not one deal has ever happened there.

Great industry, bad people.

Calling - by Marc Azous

I just got a call from someone who claims they saw my company app. First, we do not have an app, second they did not introduce themselves first. If we do not know you we will not talk business until we do.

Copper Scrap - Marc Azous

There was a weird copper report out today saying copper has been strong. WRONG. The price is still historically high and going down. Scrap buyers do not want to spend $90,000 USD to make $200 profit on a trade.

They'd be better off going to a casino betting on black or red.

Scrap Metal Traders - Etiquette

We get many inquiries each day from buyers looking for scrap. If you do not include your first and last name, company name, and contact details we assume you are an uneducated trader who can't do a deal.

Writing poorly decreases your chance to do business, in any country.
