And why is it your concern ?

3. OK, I can't sell it whole. Can I part it out for profit? If so, do it.

4. OK, nobody wants the parts. Have I needed parts for this, though. If so, hold it.

5. OK, this thing isn't desirable at all! Scrap it.

Notice where the scrap it option is. In E-Waste, scrapping something should be your last resort, that's only used on things that have little to no value.

Scrapping in the LAST and lowest pricepoint you will get for ANYTHING. Try to sell for reuse or even as material for something else....the steel printer rods for example. Scrap is the LAST IN LINE. Follow that mantra and your profits should be FAR greater.
