I just tossed in a vehicle 3 cars of misc parts. All the stuff everyone says they would "die for" Tail lights, headlights, visors, recovery hooks.. all stuff off a Gen 2 Blazer, Ford ZX2 and a Pontiac Bonneville. They sat for 3 months and were on CL 3 or 4 times.. I figure- get this crap out of my garage.. and get .11 cents a lb for it.
The Capacitor is from the Bonneville.. it is the last "part" of any car I have left. If no takers.. I'll bash it and toss it in my next vehicle. I'm kind of an a$$.. if I can't sell it. I beat the crap out of it so if by chance someone gets to the vehicle before the crusher.. there isn't anything left of value!
I heard a story at one time (may have been here) that someone used to torch holes in the blocks of their motors.. that way since the yard was paying for it by scrap- that was EXACTLY what they were getting.. the yard was none too happy about it. I thought it was BRILLIANT! They are getting what they paid for right?
