Well Frocker from the date of joining the SMF it looks like you have been doing this for a while, I don't know if this is your full time or part time income but I am going to assume you are a full time scraper, I am a true believer in keeping expenses as low as possible but some times you just have to take a educated guess in business, do the benefits out weigh the negatives? In your case I believe they do, from what you have said you rush a lot of things just to get done while knowing that you are leaving a lot of profit on the table, not to mention all the gravy, I also do auto parts recycling no cars just scrap from dealers and repair shops, most of the real profit is from my core buyer, Core Pro also known as RAS but there are many good ones all across the country, they have a data base that allows you to put the make year and model into and it tells you what parts if any they would buy and for how much before taking the time to remove them we just put the part numbers in and it tells us the same information, just a example we sold a rack and piñon that was picked up from one of our auto repair shops for steel price and they bought it for $90.00, this could never have happened working from home, also having a actual business location opens up other avenues of revenue, walk in customers both buyers and sellers. I don't mean to get long winded here but I think having a shop a posed to not having a shop in your case is a no brainier, one more thing I would like to touch on, when you have a shop a real place of business when you come in the morning it's time to work and you will stay focused more rather than getting side tracked doing house chores, or running errands that have nothing to do with your business. What ever you decide best of luck to you, I think it's time to make the move.
