You can not use a motorized vehicles on a public road that is not licensed. If you do you are taking a risk. Kids on dirt bikes and 4wheelers can an do get into trouble for two things. No driver licenses an the vehicle not being licensed. When someone who is driving a motorized vehicle that is not licensed stand to be in trouble as well but you will be less likely to be stopped if its a one time deal. (golf cart from one house to another or taking dirt bike/4wheeler to the riding trails if they are close to your home an or close to the point in where you where on public road.
That is the law. Some city's/cops wont enforce the law alot like the seat belt law before they stepped up on that but still the law.
Now your best bet is to do this. Get some money that you can spend. Find buyers who WILL COME TO YOU an find out what they will pay. (Cu, Pb batteries or Ni-CD/Ni-MH, AL) an so on. Once you have there buying numbers then make ads an tell people you are buying "blank" an you pay cash on the spot (buy a scale on ebay) an then when you have around 1,000 or so worth of stuff...call them an have them come out and buy it from you. Whats what I do but on a much larger scale.
Make sure that you get the Tr of the amount of weight so you don't over pay. Another side note lets say you found a buyer for Cu at 3 an you have a ad saying you will pay Cu for 2.5 clean then you make 0.5 clean an easy but they can bring you "dirty" wire you clean it an then sell it at the Clean Cu price. You make more money on dirty stuff then clean but clean is something you can sell right away.
keep weight tickets even if they are simple an a small log book so you KNOW what you have it so you can all ways make sure you'll make a profit on the deal. *when you fall short because of price drop..still sell it even tho you know you will take a hit..find out how much of a price hit you are going to lose an factor that into your next buying sheet...cant hold onto stuff until price comes up if you need that money to reinvest...start with small amounts 1,000 would be a good place but work on having around 20grand. I have days where I have spent more than that but 20grand will take you a very long way.
P.s I am sorry if this is very long but I wanted to explain everything in one post an not have to repost to answer every's question. But if there is one I have not answered please let me know an I will get back with you the best I can.
