I just started one 2 years ago, and yes, you will be totally married to it. It is a very narrow margin and a price drop leads to fantastic burns that will send your budget into panic mode. Yet..I like it. I make good money on motors and insulated wire, rarely purchase gas (junk cars), and I enjoy the strange stuff that comes in. Corrugated paper (there is no "cardboard" as I have been corrected) and maybe plastics are the wave of the future, just collect and ship. Every state has its own laws and requirements, Colorado was fairly easy, Florida is probably more complicated. The biggest trap is the "death spiral of growth", unless you have REALLY deep, pockets, specialize and stay small.
