    scrap or sell cast iron radiators

    Planning on tearing out the cast iron radiators and boiler in my house, going with a wood stove, does it make more sense to scrap the radiators or to sell them whole?

    I've scrapped quite a few - no market for them.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    At that price, you could still eat the freight cost and come out on top.
