Junk shop

[JeffBrad12]

junk shop owners actually rich despite their job being related to literally trash.

This sentence is funny because even if your job is related to anything deemed as disgusting doesn't change the fact that there are always opportunity.
A septic pumping company owner usually are rich yet their job is related to human feces and so does plumbing company while their job is related to wastes.
It depends on how you scale your business.

Junk business is a lucrative venture that most of us underate because it is not a neat business and the operators like it that way so that many people will not come into it and increase competition. All of us are happy to get rid of our junks and get paid for it because we can as well throw them away without getting a penny as payment, they are no use to us. Junk sellers sells them to industries that recycles the wastes and they becomes products in the market that we are happy to pay far more to buy. These junk shops now have vendors that enters rural areas to buy junks from residents and resale them to the junk shops, the city is clean and a win win for buyers and sellers of the junks.

the economy values those who can see value. while others find it to be trash or scraps, some people see its value and those are junk shop owners. A junk shop is a retail outlet similar to a thrift store which sells mostly used goods at cheap prices.

junk shop owners actually rich despite their job being related to literally trash. sellers sell fast because they want to get rid of their trash. junk shops sell in bulk to manufacturers and construction companies. they track metal prices and sell accordingly

what does this teach us? learn how to see value in everything and learn how to make it into your advantage. don’t just follow the trends of other people because those who fail to see value end up as losers,

I’ve actually seen this firsthand. Scrap buyers in my area make decent money because they understand weight, demand, and timing. It’s not glamorous, but it’s consistent. Same thing in crypto cycles: boring, undervalued stuff often outperforms hype. Seeing value early is a skill built over time, not luck

It's usual to notice a restaurant here, coffee shop there closing shop. Where I'm living right now, computer shops, bars, and other memorable spots have turned into something else, but the junk shop nearby where kids, who are all adults now, used to sell their metal and copper scraps is still there.

Most times, the business that do really well are the ones that are most despised because of the way people look at it and sometimes because it's not a presentable one from the outside. Apart from junk shops, if you do a general search on how businesses grow and which of the business is most likely to fail in the long run, you will discover that generally, bigger and well Sophisticated businesses are even more prone to getting bankrupt than smaller ones that are useful to the neighbourhood.

In addition, it's not just because the business is a junk business that it's able to stand the test of time, if you don't know how to manage such business real well and don't have good customer relations, the business will grow but will at the same time not stand the test of time.

If I recall, most of them sell the scraps at a really good price and most of them deals with metals that are expensive at market value but cheaper on the second market and those junk shops buy at the lowest possible rate from people that collect those stuff all around. It really is a good business because I have heard of stories of people scoring some trace amounts of gold, silver, and platinum in junk shops so I would say that it definitely is a profitable one but the chances are really slim on that one. Scrapyards are a good one too, you get paid so other people can throw their junk and garbage in your land and you can salvage whatever valuables are left in those garbage. The only problem that I see with this business idea is that you need to have a really commendable size of land because small junk shops do not thrive for long and it is not ideal if you want to make it big in this kind of business and you probably need a lot of vehicles to transport stuff when you have sifted and sorted everything there is left.
