I make more off ebay than scrapping. I sell alot of stuff that at first seems like it's scrap on ebay. The other day they were installing all the cash registers in a new "Micheals" they were building and threw the extra credit card machine mounting brackets in the trash. On a whim I put them on ebay for about $6 each and sold them. I got $36 for less than a dollars worth of steel.

Ebay keeps raising their fees but I can deal with it. I don't like how they have made it so easy for people to rip off sellers though, I've had that happen a few times.
