    Boy are you trusting. You say that you have been in business with
    these people in the past. How long? I think that you are really
    asking for trouble. How do you know that someone hasn't infiltrated
    your customer base. You may well end up selling stolen goods on as
    international level, haven't you every heard of Homeland Security?
    Have you ever been in the same room with these people? Just how much
    have they purchased from you that you think that they are your
    friends? I can go on but my advice to you is don't get involved in
    this. Your business model seems to me to be the perfect opportunity
    for crooks. Let them sell their scrap in the own country or theri own
    town. They can take it to a pwon shop. You are heading for a lot of
    headaches. Why should you really care if they feel they are draining
    their bank accounts? This is a business not a friendship. 

Good luck Dennis
