    Unless you can fix up and resell, don't buy @ $.47. If you can fix up- part them out. $.47 is a steal. I had access to 10 pallets worth, bid $.25 lb yard owner laughed. "You can't compete with China". Was the answer I got.

    Seems more like cheap to me....If I went to the yard to sell something and they came up $20 short I wouldn't even bother coming back

    I believe I addressed the math on it. Just hard to figure a 486 ceramic weighs no more than that
