Since I teach and run a landscape business throughout the summer, I have basically been hoarding everything except steel (as I don’t have the space) until the fall/winter months for some additional income. I am especially hoarding anything that might have higher than scrap value until I have time this winter to research and list it. I do typically cash in some things every August when were about to go on vacation.



The fluctuation in prices don’t really bother me, as others have said, you should simply be adjusting your prices so that your profit margins are the same. If you haven’t already you should be seeing less competition. Anyone driving $20,000 F150’s 30 miles to pickup a refrigerator was doomed to fail from the beginning and as prices drop this will become ever more apparent.
