Hi
I guess part of it is that they'd also spend extrat time to handle the
one part. For scrap it is just throw it into a pile.
Still, he is taking time to list them. Sounds like it isn't good business
sense
but then I'm not sure if most scrap dealers have good sense.
I've seen several cases of scrapping a piece of equipment that
was actually worth something as one piece but only worth
pennies as scrap.

I've never understood this... someone lists a board at a price FAR above
scrap value, then says it will be scrapped if no one buys it. That doesn't
make sense. I know they gotta make a profit but asking $50 for a board with
$0.50 of gold in it seems odd. I mean, I'd pay $25, way way above scrap
value - but won't get the chance apparently.
