    Good luck it will happen,when I open my yard in the beginning we were very slow 6-10 customers a day,that was six years ago,I sold out to my partner three years ago today they average 450 customers a day,and he now has opened two more yards for a total of three. I would tell you to watch out for your competition they might tell you one thing and do the other,another thing I would tell you to do is go on recycleinme it's a website that puts buyers and sellers world wide together,I would try to book orders for most of your material thru that site,I would not sell anything to the yards around you unless you have to,as far a braking down things,use your time to get customers into your yard,hire some one to do the braking down,you have to learn to work with your mind and not your back when you have a yard your money is made thru the connections you make,not cleaning a electric motor,just my two cents.best of luck happy days are coming.
