Hello everyone

I think that it is a great thing that there are forums dedicated to scrap metal, electronics ect. I stumbled on this forum trying to gather general info on the subject. I never expected there to be such a wealth of knowledge like this forum.
Anyways, I guess I am a newbie at all of this. I have scrapped metal in the past, both for myself and for some of my former employers. However, until the past week or so I haven't really thought of scrapping as a means of earning any serious money. Since then I have been doing a lot of research on the subject, and starting to develop a game plan for what will hopefully be my secondary source of income. So far, I have a buddy of mine letting me use a fenced in (with razor wire) lot he has had empty for a while as a staging ground, my stepson to help me gather and process, (well mostly gathering at this point lol) and another good friend who is going to team up with me, who I have been partners with in the past and is a great, honest guy. Ive also been doing a ton of research as far as scrapping different things, identifying different types and grades of metals, ideas on getting scrap ect. i've also been looking into the whole e-scrap thing, as I know a lot about computers and electronics (not just which ones are good, but how to build the stuff, lol) so I am hoping to get into that field eventually in time.
Anycrap, right now im just starting out and looking to build a solid base to start from, and then if the opportunities come, expand from there. Heck, right this minute, I would be happy just to pay my internet bill, and build from there. Any advise will be greatly appreciated, and I hope I don't ask to many dumb questions (although I'll prob ask a few).
