Having a documentary done on my scrap metal business

esp if you reveal exactly how much money you earn from the stuff you collect



maybe you should focus more on the hard work part of it
show people that theres a lot of work required before most stuff is fit to take to the scrapyard
otherwise many people will begin to think that instead of giving it to us, they'd rather take it in themselves & pocket the cash.

Money isn't the focus. From watching the film, people get the idea that they will need: A pickup ($30,000); a dual-axle trailer ($3,400); a shop (cabin) for tearing down, processing & storing stuff ($70,000), a tractor with bucket & forks ($21,500); grinder, Sawzall & asst tools ($1000) to haul their $100 worth of stuff to the scrap yard. (These are prices I actually paid for what I use)

Plus it shows the work involved.
