Just note that most of the sites require you take an exam yourself to make sure you know what you’re doing.
Scrap Metal Recycling
If you like driving around and collecting every and any type of metal, you could cash in your findings to a scrap yard. You just need to know which scrap metals are highly valuable to maximize your scrap metal profits. In general, most non-ferrous metals are going to make you more money. Think copper, lead, nickel, and brass.

If you have specific area you know a lot about, such as sports, music equipment, old cameras, or playing cards, you can carve out your niche in the market. By focusing on a specific area or topic, you can increase profits faster and develop the knowledge necessary to find good deals.
