Mech, this is basically what iam doing.
I am lucky, I have land to stock pile..
I sell just enough to pay my help and keep the trucks running.
Scrap is not my main income, iam fortunate in that. One day ,hopefully, it will be.
Meanwhile I continue to learn, and now scrap is giving an income to another man and his family. It may not be much in the grand scheme of things, but its better than minimum wage, and he seems to enjoy the work.
