thank you all for the suggestions.  my wife and I agree that we will stick to learning from these forums and experience, instead of spending money to buy any books.

Congrats on the unit!  That Coke and Harley stuff look pretty good. 

We hope to get our third unit this week.

we had some vehicle front seats (probably from a Dodge Caravan) and a bedframe in one of the units we just sorted thru.  we brought the stuff home last night for a bulk pickup from the city.  As I was leaving for work this morning, there was a guy who was taking the seats.  The bedframe had already been taken.  He said he can make money on the seats.

Is scrap metal worth the time and effort?  Can you get decent money for just a couple of items?

I know I will have to call my local recycling center and ask them about actual dollars, but just wanted to hear people's opinions.

thanks to both of you.  once we have finished going thru the 2 units, i'll create a new post with what we've found.  right now, it's mostly been clothes in one unit and beach house items in the second.

Fayettenam Man - we talked about going over to OBX and see if they had any auctions.  figured it's gonna be mostly beach stuff of course.
