I started the same by getting rid of things that I can disassemble and scrap. Feeding my childhood passion about scrap collecting and selling.
By the way, iron is still too cheap over here. I read about prices of iron going up globally, but we seem to be still in the eighties or something ;). Alright, I'm kidding. It's 10 times higher than my childhood times but it hasn't moved for years.
I guess that's due to the fact that our country is one huge scrapyard.
Well, @manoldonchev, it seems you should hold onto your scrap metal until your country catches up. Then you will be able to reap a fortune!
If only getting rid of things were not the main goal here...
