doesn't seem to be a meeting of the minds here at all. And it's a
shame... if the scrapper teamed up with a curator, a lot of money could be
made, and a lot of valuable stuff could be saved from actually being
scrapped. Shame.
The problem is that collectors in general have no clue to what
vintage
machines are worth as just plain ore. Some of the numbers being thrown
around here are perhaps just over the value if each box was just scrap
steel, but we know that these boxes contain much more than steel.
Fyi, steel is currently around $6 / 100
lbs. I just turned in a 4200 lbs Chevy
for $263.
