Can you make a profit on Ebay?

I'm one of those guys who sells on ebay and Etsy and Ruby et et et
As of Oct of this year I had slide over the 100 grand in sales mark from on line sales.
Yup there are scammers and crooks and there are these folks in real life everyday. I've lost a few but I don't let yesterday define my today and continue to grow.
I joke that the secret to making money is buy low and sell high.
I've done scrap my whole life and now have a pretty good set of contacts of other scrap guys who call me when they find something good. I had a friend swing by heading to the local scrap yard to drop off a bucket of old gears I was buying. Of course I had to peek on his truck and laying there was a pile of metal letters and a nother pile of old pressed tin. He left lighter and richer and smarter

Is this what your calling pressed tin.

It was wasn't the old ceiling tin. More the old barn roof tin.
I sell quite a bit of the old barn tin
