Just trying to figure out if I will make a good profit

take into account that most of it should be graded as bare bright if you are stripping it. some of it will be discolored and be #1 or #2.
I personally would sell it as is for 2.10 and spend my time on other things. I get around 1.75 and am very happy with it. It all depends on how much time you have, and what your time and the mess is worth. It does make a nice watching tv project if you don't get in too much trouble for doing it in the living room.
Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.
