    be careful...because all scrap yards report your earnings over a certain dollar level usually 100 dollars...most scrap yards pay cash under 100 dollars and check anything over that..thats for tax reasons and if they get audited your name and how much you sold to them will definately be in there either way

    $400 of income (not profit) or more
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
