    I think it's more money in cars for sure but getting them can be a little tricky sometimes. I only use craigslist and my website for advertising Junkcarbuyersraleighnc.com, even though I live about 35 miles outside of Raleigh. It takes a lot of advertising and I do mean a lot but it really pays off trust me, some days you will get so many phone calls that you won't be able to get to them all and you will wish you had help and some days you will wonder why the phone is not ringing, but that's just how it is in the scrap business. My set up is a 2500 HD 2003 Sierra with a full metal deck trailer with an 8000 pound winch. Oh and I forgot to mention I only work about three days a week usually Monday through Wednesday because I have a full-time job hauling mail on an 18 wheeler Thursday through Saturday but even when I'm working I'm still advertising because that's how much it's needed.
