Welcome to the forum. If you have been scrapping for a few years then all the talk in the world wouldn't change that guys mind. Tell him to come on here and do some reading, along with yourself, and maybe he will learn a thing or two. Always read the old post, use the search box, and when you think you read enough, read some more. If you got the buyer already in mind and lined up, call he for a quote, and show your buddy what kind of money can be made. have him call the yard and get a price on just one thing, like the common wire, and go from there. Just imo selling used equipment that you can not check out first, is a problem waiting to happen, especially if your going to sell it as "working pull" or "working but untested" unless you have the insurance policy to back that up in the event something bad was to happen.
Fast money is great, but money lost due to ignorance is just plain stupidity. I would tell him to get quotes before you sell, and it would only take a couple of extra hours to quote thing out. Sorry, don't mean to sound arrogant or anything like that. This is just my opinion and I have been looking at "better than scrap" pricing for quite a while now. The scrap yards are only paying the minimums that they can get away with, sorry guys that have a yard. Good luck to you on this.
