    Reselling over scrapping?

    I've been finding recently, that a lot of the stuff I find works, and could easily fetch a few bucks (likely 10x what it would be worth in scrap, even completely broken down). For example I have found many box fans, portable heaters, printers, DVD players, phones, tools, rakes, shovels, bikes, etc.... all in perfectly good working condition, and most of them pretty clean and resealable. Even though this is a scrapping forum, do most people try to resell first, and then scrap whats left over? Or do people here mostly just take things and scrap them no matter what without trying to resell? My town has a yard-sale day on a quarterly basis, Ive been thinking of just stock piling everything I find that works and could be resell-able, and just scrapping broken or not very useful/resell-able thing, and then trying to sell the stock pile of stuff at the quarterly yard sales (and then scrap whatever ends up not selling).
