What a rip off. Viking upper end appliances have cheap stainless in them.

I always thought and was told by some scrappers that upper end appliances such as the Viking brand had the good stainless that was worth a lot more than the cheap stuff that is basically as worthless as shred steel. I had never had a Viking appliance to scrap out. Today I was given a big big heavy Viking side by side fridge. It has to weigh 300 or 400 pounds or more. Thinking it was full of high end stainless I checked it out further to find it has no better quality stainless than the cheaper ones from China. It is all shred steel framework with lots of plastic. The compressor and inner workings look exactly the same as the cheap appliances. Talk about just buying a name with that huge mark up. The guy that gave it to me said he paid over $7500 for it new and it only lasted 6 years before breaking down and was not worth being repaired. The compressor fried on it. At 2.5 cents a pound it's now worth about 10 bucks. Of course there is some copper and wiring to pull after evacuating it but still what a rip off.
