    If you have a car, and not a lot of space, I suggest E-Scrapping to start. Then "Upgrade" to a van. Van works as both a scrap vehicle, and a storage spot.



    You can make as much money scrapping computers as you can scrapping copper, and a lot of guys will trip over a 486 pc to pick up a 3" copper pipe. I've tried a ton of different business Ideas. My fiance like E-scrapping the best. I can do it anywhere, doesn't take up a bunch of space (Sometimes) the turnover is as quick as I want it to be, and every part gets moved on, and I get paid for. (PLastic Aside)

    I have a pickup truck, full size chevy. But when i have a larger load I borrow a trailer, or rent a $20 U-Haul for the day.

    I thought her eyes were big when she saw the truckbed full of E-Waste..her eyes were bigger when I left the house with 3 totes full of PC boards and came home with a check for over $500. Start small and re-invest your $$, make some more, and re-invest it. If you want o make it to the big time, you'll need big time tools...There's nothing more fun than working for 3 months and seeing all of the tools you got for "Free"

    It's going to take some hard work. You're going to get some funny looks. People are going to ask you a Zillion Questions.....but use each one as n opportunity to "Sell yourself"!!
