If the bumper is in good shape that should sell for better than scrap.
i found a small compactor 2 weeks ago on the side of the road and i couldn't believe how heavy it was. i couldn't get the friggin thing in the truck, might of been the 3rd time i wish i didn't have a lift in my truck. the guy felt bad and came out and helped me lift it in thankfully.
I kick myself alot these days for having a lift on my truck...Quote:

For the sake of principle I was a little pissed as I took one of the heater cores in and was paid $ 1.00 a pound
as if it was a irony brass core . But it was pure brass and actually had copper in the fin area ( I know copper it was true orange color) . This core came out of a heater box from a auto vintage late 1970 or 80s .
I said at least this is a brass rad @ $ 1.50 . Wile I realize i am only talking about a 3 pound core , this was a test sale - I have more like this and i want to be paid for what it is.
I might cut next one in half to make a point .
The way I see it the yard has taught me all the metals they will pay on . So I feel if I have it they need to be accurate.
I figure what is going on is this vintage types , are not showing up as much so they don't list it.
Similar to wheel weights that are listed as just wheel weights, with pricing based more on zinc and steel , so they get what ever lead still shows up at zinc price
Scared money don't make money.
