One thing you can do to get in on this game is your local municipality or state auction. I used to bid on the NC State surplus auctions (that's where my 69 Chevy C-20 came from) and win quite a few of them to cut up scrap.
I hate to think of all the escrap I sold for "tin" back then as there was no market for it and I was scrapping 1970s computers and telecom equipment (lots of gold pins in them). Still, I made pretty good money off the auctions. I'd bid what I could get for tin and pull out all the non ferrous and then scrap the remainder. I also sold alot of the machines to rebuilders as well.
