    I don't know you did not say,so the thing is you have to know what's the value of the entire deal, it's easy to say pass the deal but I would have to say there are some things that were left out of your post.The shop wants 175.00 where did they get that number from out of there asssssssss?not likely.I am not saying that this is a good deal or not, but if you are asking you don't know.the only real way to learn is from your mistakes. I would say to take a shot at it wow much can you lose? You might get an education, I do buy all scrap from shops except there tin/ shread we get that for nothing.I make good money from auto shops scrap, and like I have said iN the past they always have scrap, you need to have a steady flow of material to serrvive in this game. Good luck happy scraping.
