Or start selling it on Ebay. Where there's a will there's a way,

Without some decent feedback ebay might be a wash, it took me quite a while to start getting decent prices for my stuff I was selling. In the beginning I was almost giving stuff away just to get it to sell.

1. I agree and also think Ebay is too overwhelmed (supply side) and prices aren't so good.

2. I have to figure out how to make this profitable.

3. I teach college English.

4. I will definitely read as many threads as possible about this work/play...but since the laws in Arizona are different than many other states, I'm more interested in what Arizona scrappers are doing.

5. Thank you all for the welcome. I look forward to learning and sharing what I've learned and keep learning too.

6. I have lots of motherboards, daughtercards, motors (mostly all small), and steel and iron are easy to find and collect. I try to find as much small heavy metal as possible--don't want my yard to look like a junkyard--am pretty organized about the whole thing.

7. I went to "The Scrap Yard" -- once -- with a light load of a bucket of insulated, a bucket of aluminum, and some steel--and I drove away with 25 bucks...but was disappointed...do any of you know scrap yards in Tucson that are better than the others?

Thanks!
