Welcome to the forum Dave. There's lots to learn here even for a more experienced scrapper. As an example you may learn about scraping electronics which you might not know about now. So I suggest you do what I did, read as many of the old threads as you can.
We have a buyers & sellers section where some of our members list the prices they pay for different items. We have a member who is in Pa. who is in the insulated wire scrapping business. He buys insulated wire. All I am saying is there is a lot of free info and you will be happy you took the time to read it. Best of luck, Mike.
ps one of my favorite threads.
