    I too have found being diverse is my silver lining in all of this with the current price drops, and I am surprised at how quickly some people "bail" and just throw their hands up with the prices as the yards going down. I picked up 4 loads the other day from people who just decided its not worth it to them. The sad part is they had already done the work...separated, sorted, and had it ready to go. I think its key to find what works for you in all of this. I love what I do and I think that is 90% of the battle...money comes and goes, sometimes its great sometimes its not. However I have be surprised on more than one occasion that some weird switch or fixture I found is worth X$ because someone wants or needs it!
