But you are cheap. Because $41.50 is cheap. Owning a scrap yard has become very expensive. Primarily because of property tax due to the size. But also environmental penalties many now have to pay due to ground contamination a scrap yard creates. Unfortunately I don't see this trend getting better for the future. I have pulled my share of parts. (And yes, there is something cool about a scrap yard and discoveries.) And just dumping the contents of the radiator I wanted right there on the ground. It turns out? That practice has accumulative environmental consequences?
We had a newer scrap yard attempt to strip its wrecks in a more responsible manner. Clean, test and sell parts from the shelf as used parts. Then scrap remains there on premise. Thus lowering insurance by not having public wandering their grounds. They are no longer in business.
