    This doesn't qualify as scrapping but I sold a bunch of critter teeth (raccoons, coyotes, fox, etc.) from animals I had harvested a number of years ago. Thought people that did mountain men or other such crafts might hit on them. I had buried the skulls in the dirt, let them non-bone decompose, and then dug them back up and got the teeth (I now boil such heads and either clean them up to sell as whole skulls as possible or use the teeth if the skull is too messed up).

    Anyway, first ebay sale of critter teeth and a guy bids on them fairly early. His ebay handle was a ghoul shop in Philly. I think it had a web site so I went and checked it out. Pretty creepy stuff. A large inventory of professional 19th century tin photos of various dead people (pretty common thing to do back then). I was rooting for this guy not to win the auction because of the ghoul-ness. It ended up that he didn't win. I didn't ask the winner what he was going to do with the teeth. By then I had learned not to ask people what they did with some of my wildlife related stuff. Best leaving some sleeping dogs lie...
