OT Parts houses & scrappers

Will is right. You have to convince them that it will be worth their time to sort that particular item out, find packaging to send it and deal with the typical book keeping required by their particular state, as compared to the time/return of just tossing it into the fire to burn off the undesired part.
Say it takes them 45 minutes to handle one board and compare that to the hundreds of boards in the same time to reprocess. When looking at the 45 minutes, also consider the various overheads involved.
They are in business. Time is money.

> 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.

But in this case, there IS a price that the market WILL bear. And that
price is determined by scrap/mining/commodity factors.

The prices exists, and the market exists. Complain all you want, but
if you want to win the fight, so need to know what you are dealing
with.
