It seems that the niche I’m trying to focus on is taking the scrap from the recycling places and then shipping it off to eastern countries such as India. I’m comparing that with finding a niche locally such as someone suggesting cars or escrap. I’m not sure at this point probably since it’s too soon for me to get all the info together to figure out which is a more lucrative niche out of these three. Any suggesting and help in that regards would also be very appreciated. =) looking forward to staying in touch with everyone here!!

Sorry I was a little cynical to start with, there are a lot of posts that drop with lofty goals and dreams and just never ever post again. Longtime members post lengthy, well considered answers to a drive by who never logs on again.

What skills do you bring to the table? Have you ever worked with any scrap material before? Have you ever shipped any products overseas? Do you have connections that would get you a large supply of scrap material cheaply? Scrap is no different than any other type of business, there is no easy money.
