    I'd say keep your day job jen, or college/whatever, and keep going at it as a part time, second, or summer job. There is a rapidly increasing number doing it, and an ever declining number of people letting go of it, or simply doing it themselves. The number of hoarded piles is also declining so much faster than they're being built. As with anything else that goes in that direction, the well will eventually go dry.
    Sad fact of life, but it's just like a store shelf filled with bargains, each time you go by and grab a few, there's more people browsing with an ever decreasing selection from which to chose. Long as the store stays open they'll fill it up with something else, but who knows what(it won't likely be the same bargain they had yesterday). It's an ever changing world so proceed accordingly

    I would never count on it as a fulltime job. too many variables. If you did computer work with scrapping on the side, or mechanical work, or carpentry, or plumbing blah blah blah.

    I am in the process of attempting this as a second job.
