    Hello! Just sticking a toe in the water here.

    Well, after finally getting rid of that nagging voice that was always saying: "Don't buy that, all that's going to do is sit around", I'm here to learn more. (fortunately, the divorce wasn't expensive)

    Seriously though, I'm unlikely to try and make a living off of scrapping, but I do really really like buying shop equipment, farm equipment, and even just random pallets of stuff at auctions and I need to learn more about metal values so I'm not losing money when something doesn't work out the way I'd hoped.

    Rent or lease a larger warehouse as things age they become more valuable as collector items.

    Divorces are always cheap when you have no assets.
