How will eScrap fit?

• We put our scrap on line and it can be ordered
• Reduce rent and increase participation
• We have a van so we are mobile
• All pictures on-line
• Having someone stand around is a waste of time
  (let customers come to us).
• Not whole business just part to take advantage
  of Oxfords high Internet penetration.
