I also based what I said because my day is full with just my job. Some times I don't get home til 9 to 10pm and I start at 9am.

The OP may have the time on his hands to do so.

My dad was good at both mechanical and body work. He said to me once that he preferred body work over mechanical work because he didn't get his hands as dirty. As a teenager, I didn't care but I understand what he meant now that I'm older.

I'm not sure I can add much that hasn't already been said.
It's gambling buying from either Copart or IAA. If you know what you're doing you make some good $$, but sometimes you're just dealt a bad hand. There's ways to get your feet wet without spending too much cash but you'll find your best deals on craigslist (when you can find them).
