It's
really not that surprising considering they're the high-tech version
of
the knuckle-dragging, beer swilling ass-hats that populate the low-tech
scrap industry.
So...now you know why the scrap industry generally does not like us.
Scrappers are not stupid, but they can certainly be spiteful.

They can be. If they think something is worth $4000 and you offer only $400
they would rather crush it then look like a chump. Some of that has to do
with the fact that they make money without side sales just by scrapping, and
have no money in the items (get them free or charge a recycling fee). Its
not just scrappers, even some collectors who get things free and think they
are worth major money will do the same thing because it is "not worth their
time" to deal with lower offers.
