For a while I was doing electrical and plumbing salvage and selling it on ebay along with some value added merchandise.

I was limited to withdrawing $500 per month from pay pal and money was stacking up in my account that's after I paid for shipping, bought supplies for value added merchandise and anything else I could ebay for around the house.

Now I have been dragging stuff from the scrap yard to the agricultural auction. For junk I make about 20 to 50% profit after auction fees for value added stuff like buying propane empty or obsolete 20lb propane tanks and swapping them for full ones at walmart the profit margin is over $100.

For next auction I have GSA approved weapons lockers picked from the scrap yard. Going to clean them up and put the weapons racks up and see what they go for, after I keep one for my self. (I'm not even sure if they were ever used because the screw packs and weapons holders were still in plastic wrap)

Just have to use your imagination.
