Sorry, but no. It?s grossly offensive for things that
work perfectly well and that someone might actually find useful to go to scrap. There?s
tons of useless and broken junk that our civilization can mine for scrap, we don?t need to
actually destroy things that have actual value.
If someone isn?t able to sell for the price they?d like to get, maybe the market won?t
bear that price and they need to lower it. Scrapping should be a course of last resort, a
way to recover value from something you can?t even give away, not a competing outlet for
goods.

While I also don't like scrapping out things that work or can be
repaired relatively easily, a saying I use in a variety of situation is
"don't force your limitations on me, I have enough of my own."
That said, I VERY much appreciate the free pile at VCFMW that allows me
to get rid of stuff that will go to a good home rather than go to
landfill or scrap (I DON'T DO EBAY!!!) Many times I find free to be far
to expensive for most people including myself (think
postage/shipping/prep time.)
