Good times are great n you also have slow days, sometimes weeks..i do the half pt gig but have still pulled in a couple gs this year..its great to have some extra cash, but the labor isnt free..ok by me ..gl man, get your name out there
I seen the slow days..had one yesterday but bounced back today with a great day...im still new to scrapping but ive learned alot
Keep it up man..cash is king n there is plenty of $crap out there for the honest hard working person
Here, this will hold ya for awhile and you don't have to yell, we hear you.Quote:

I am part time but, I put in a good amount of hours per week. It depends how much overtime is available at work. Scrapping can't come anywhere near my overtime rate . When work is slower I scrap more. Almost everyone else around by me does it full time.
I'm a part timer of the better part of a decade. Having two kids, I work at my job for the fully paid health insurance.
I too do it part time. But some weeks when its not so hot and i have a large inventory or computers im putting in well over 32 hours a week tinkering with them. Im an electronics scrapper so my work is much less labor intensive and i dont really spend so much time looking for my waste. Thanks to my day job ive made several contacts that provides my enough computers, servers and monitors to keep me busy. If i quit my full time job i would probably lose my connections for my electronics so they kinda go hand in hand. I havent been in the business long but i am doing very well in my oppinion and learing to do even better. Ive processed well over 700 towers in 4 months. Between resell and scrap im averaging about $14 a unit. This average cost is not counting any ceramic CPU's. Im just collecting those for a rainny day. I have very little overhead since my scrap is free and i work from home. My biggest expense would be the plastic totes i purchased for scrap storage and the 8 hour round trip to deliver to my buyer which i will try to do once every two to three months.
I am part time and been reinvesting in tools a truck etc , I work full time cause I need health ins.
