    Gas pump handles, Should I buy them?

    So there's a guy in town that runs a small scrap yard I get first crack at buying stuff to further breakdown. I buy stuff from him, water coolers, A/C's, microwave's etc.(just bought 80 microwaves from him). And take them apart for the other components. Compressors, copper, stainless steel, electric motors, etc. I was there today and someone brought in like 600 pounds of gas pump nozzles. The guy bought them as dirty aluminum. There's cast aluminum, extruded, a little bit if steel. Now I know its ultimately up to me but should I buy them all? He offered them to me for 20 cents a pound. I told him id think it over and get back to him. I'll get pics tomorrow. I'm doing pretty good on everything else I'm buying from him.

    No just plain old handles. Apparently they are pretty popular for decorating. Not getting rich, but clearing $5-$8 each at least
