    Yup.. 2 years ago I would have completely gutted that thing.. stuffed it with excess sheet steel and rolled out of the yard with around $440 Cash Money!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I know a scrapper who loves minivans for that reason- they make great containers for shred. Sadly, the container's aren't worth too much these days
