Much of how successful you are in building this into a profit making venture depends on 3 things

(1) knowing your material = what to pay for & what not to pay for & what to process & what not to process (or what to not sell & what to sell)

(2) How aggressive you are in acquiring material to build a supply client base (to get material you have to let people know you want material - get the word out)

(3) How "fair" you treat the clients that provide you with material (treat them fair they return with more - don't treat them fair they don't return with more)

Kurt

Kurt gave you good advice on the matter. The most important is in number 3. How fair are you going to treat your clients.

Treating your clients well will make or break you. Not only in buying or selling but if word gets around that you maybe a little bit shady or untrustworthy that blurs the whole picture.

That goes without saying!! But know this, I know what's right and wrong and what's fair and unfair. Don't know how the last few post are edging towards fairness and conduct. I know I am not a "refiner " at the moment but I do know how to conduct myself in a professional manner. Thanks to all for the wonderful advice on etiquette, that parts a given!!

It was not my intent to offend you (by questioning your fairness in business) & I am sorry if I offended you in anyway

Rather (because you are clearly new to this) I was simply pointing out - that - IF - you are going to start into this as a kind of hobby - with hope/intent to build it to a profitable business - there are 3 important things at the "foundation" of building/growing it into a profitable business --- there is a LOT more that goes into building "on top" of that foundation

Treating clients you get material from fair is one of the 3 things in that foundation - IF/when you hope/intend to turn what you start into as a hobby - into an actual profitable business venture --- & that was my only point/intent in posting what I did

So my post was really meant as a statement in general - not a personal question of your integrity
