    Its possible but you have to do something to set yourself apart from the others. I have a couple part time employee's to do breakdowns on pc's and pay them by the pc. I drop the load off to them and pick it up when they are done and ready for more. This gives me time to do more time picking up new clients. I buy from lots of scrap yards. Have to pay a slight bit more but get lots of quanity. You have to wear many hats. If i am doing tear downs or sorting and i have to meet a new perspective client i usually run home and change. The wife helps me get and keep paperwork straight. Some days are long but if something comes up or i get bored i can arrange my schedule for the most part. Some of my pickups are an hour away and can tie up half a day.
