Plans for scrapping probably won't change far off of what I do now. The upside I see is the space and the ability to break things down and then store until a more profitable load can be taken in. Perfect example.. If I were to collect say 10 stoves over the course of time. They can be broken down and stored in the barn until I can take a trailer-load instead of 1 or 2 in the back of the truck. Likewise. I could buy more than one vehicle.. store one or two, strip them INSIDE, and have the ability to hold items for price fluctuations if necessary. Right now steel is around $200 to $215 in my area.. if I tucked away those cars and those stoves until it hits $240 as it does around here at the right times. I can further profit off of the work.
Right now I basically have to buy at current price and sell at current market price.. I have no room to do otherwise. This would allow me to do that.. as just one example.
