    How would you scrap these valves

    I know some of these valve retail for $200. Not sure if i can scrap them for the brass because of the silver metal inside them. I tried uploading a pic but I cant seem to get it to work. i hope it shows up. My question is how would you scrap them? or would you try and sell them as is for original use?

    How would you scrap these valves

    If it is a ball valve, the silver colored ball should be nickel plated brass. The only non brass part is the handle.

    I would try Ebay. Certainly worth more than scrap.

    yes some of them have ball valves. so are you saying just take handle off to get brass price for scrap? Its a shame to have to scrap them since they retail for so much more. I listed them on craigslist with only one response and they wanted a lot of 50 i only have 10. I tried to ad pic as my profile pic so you could see them since i cant ad to post thread. How long does it take to be able to post pics on here?
