What items are actually worth the time scrapping for money?

The list above has only one thing on it that doesn't really fit and that is Scooters"

Parts is where the money is or selling items as is or fixing and selling if there is a market.

The things besides Scooters I have plenty of as most is scrap with a few parts of value for repairs, arts and crafts and such.

I can't understand how people can make a living at scraping most electric tools, appliances and such.

That's why I've let most of that type stuff just sit until it makes sense for me to do something with it.

I just might get around to messing with some of it in the future, but life changes and things happen to where it's time to do something with all the scrap here in the yard.

I don't mind as I'm in no rush to mess with most of it as I have other things to occupy my time.

It's all paid for so it can sit as I like sitting more these days as I try and enjoy the Golden years ahead.

I dunno man. All bets are off after you've turned 50. You gotta some thought to to the legacy you're leaving behind. At least ... most guys our age do.

What's the most likely scenario here ?

I'm just living my childhood dream in that I've never put much thought into getting rid of stuff as my place is like a salvage yard theme park.

I created my own world here. I figured that I would get stuff sorted out so that if I had a auction in the future the scrap would most likely sell by the pallet or pile to others that were interested in scraping it out.

I got rid of most of the copper pipe and heavy wire. Some I stripped if easy, but I sold off many pounds of the wire they use in houses and well pump wire. Then there were the radiators and cats. Plus the battery piles I got rid of. One load of batteries was just over a ton.

I haven't messed with aluminum much as the price is so low.

The scrap is just extra stuff sitting around.

It's my hobbies that make me the BIG bucks.

I just might die here someday. Or I might move on and do something else. Don't matter much to me as I'm still living my childhood dreams and then some.

Motive is what makes things so different for me as my motives are on a different plane then most others.

My salvage yard is my home, simply put.
