<p>[QUOTE="TopcatCoin, post: 1481801, member: 22746"]If this is what makes you happy, then by all means go for it. However, I sort of feel you are a bit "late to the party" here. This would have been a good business idea about 5+ years ago. A population of 75,000 people is not a lot to rely on. What happens when they have sold all of their PMs (if they have not already done so). A small local business near me has made a fortune in the PM scrap game, but they have been doing it for years. The man in charge admits that business is not what it used to be in the good old days and has had to resort to Internet and mailing PM kits. He told me he started out buying PM scrap at flea markets with little to no overhead. This is a guy who really got in early and built a lucrative career out of it. You may need to think of some new niche to capitalize with all the competition out there. Good luck. TC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
