The way that shady "recycling" outfits like this work is that they try
to move stuff as quickly as possible and if they can't sell it almost
immediately they WILL melt it down. While the fact that they're making
even a token attempt to sell stuff whole means that they know the
stuff is valuable, you can be pretty sure that if they can't sell the
working systems on their first attempt, they WILL get scrapped. Thus,
by encouraging people not to but this stuff, you are, in effect,
condemning it to a firey death...
