Probably was salvageable.. Even the injection pump was on it.. broke it with the grapple lifting it off.. It is so much easier to scrap them than it is to find someone around here willing to pay anything for it.

I hate that mentality.

Scrapping shred is one thing, but whole salvageable items? You won't get anywhere near the price and all you have to do is sit on it for 3 weeks. If it doesn't sell by then, fine. But to short change yourself so much, because you want the $50 NOW, it's almost a crime.

I agree it's a bad mentality to just scrap everything and anything without a second thought but I don't think it's always so clear cut. Each person has to decide how to best allocate their resources to maximize their return. In some cases this might mean hanging on to an item and trying to locate a buyer, for others it might be just to scrap the item and spend the time aquiring more scrap. Storage space isn't free either.
