Need help to understand the scrap business of copper wires

1. How profitable is this business line?
2. What is minimum quantity (lbs or tons) needed to start the business?
3. What are the raw materials needed?
4. Any idea about the costs for freight on exporting the copper?
5. Where can I get loads of electrical wires?

Thanks for your quick response.

First of all, gold wire is much more profitable. DO NOT invest in a copper wire processor. Spend the extra money and get the gold wire processor. Power supply wires in ALL computers contain 67.892% gold that can be easily harvested with the gold wire processor. I ordered one from Gold Wire Processing Co. and they sent two by mistake. I will sell one to you very reasonably.

Here we go again, which way did they go?

A guy blazes in with one post. Has no idea about anything related to scrapping anything. Has no idea where to get the goods he says he wants to scrap. He wants to know if exporting the wire he has no idea how to find or how to process or how much he can expect to make, will be profitable when he hasn't taken 10 pounds of copper fittings in to scrap?...

No, it was not a joke. It was the first post that is the joke.
