    copperhead i really think that your best upportunitity for profit is things out of the shred pile people throw stuff in there that contains brass and copper daily, paying tin price for an air conditioner and breaking it down would probobly net you atleast 15 an hour.

    The scrapyard I go to JUST started buying AC compressors...I was telling the employees a while back to buy them at cost and
    sell them elsewhere. Now they buy them though.

    Besides that, Had my eye on an aluminum boat for a while (that they may sell me at cost).
    It has a minor hole I could repair , but the biggest problem is it would need to be registered, and I don't know if it could possibly be stolen originally...so don't want the hassle.

    Oh, other scrapyard was going to sell me an OLD Honda motorcycle I liked for $80 ...but I hesitated because it had a shaft drive. (shaft-drive is very good, but it can't be used very easily if the motor is switched to a "chopper" frame is all).

    I see enough at the yard I go getting tossed in the steel , I think I could earn my keep IF they'd hire me, but I've applied already...atleast the one boss told me he "saw my app. , didn't have work, BUT when they get calls for pick-ups (they don't do)," and he "knows I'll bring the stuff there ONLY" ...
    He would "call my cell phone"...Better than working there IF it works out!!!
    EDIT: perhaps you could do "pick-ups" on your off days is my idea? is all.
