    In the other thread called "Projects" you mentioned that you scrap and repurpose as a hobby. So if it's a hobby, why are you worried about prices and profit?

    A hobby means I do this for something to do. I do not depend on it for a living. I do however have an overhead and a truck that loves gas stations. I like to at least break even. That is why I have a limited pick up area and mostly stick to my regulars I know will load my trailer with tonnage every time they call me. I have many irons in the fire. Drag racing, Off roading. Dirt track racing, I build rat rods. The dragster I have as an avitar is mine. 7 second, 180 MPH quarter mile car. A year or so ago my 'Scrap Hobby' covered the cost of a lot of my ventures. But now it barely covers basic expenses. That is why I call it a hobby. What's your story Billy ??
