One time I looked for scrap metal on eBay and there was about 40 tons fairly close to my house. I doubled my money for a 2 day job.



I then sold scrap metal on ebay because I had a job that was just too big for me to handle. I had a couple of guys buy it, and I even set up sweet pricing for them locally (about 2x as much as they were paying me). It worked out great and we both made a bundle.
