    Anyone around Atlanta?

    I work with old vintage motorcycles in atlanta, and wind up scrapping a lot of metal. I also have met a few scrappers around - some of whom have taken to perousing my dumpster often successfully for metal - and noticed sometimes they'll wind up with a lot of motorcycle or automotive scrap parts that I could still use.

    I guess I was wondering if anyone sells parts they find as parts] instead of scraps. Is there a place for that? I imagine most scrappers scrap everything because it's simpler and easier, and they probably don't have a reliable buyer for good parts. But if you had someone to buy parts, would you sell them? how much above scrap value would make it worthwhile?

    Welcome, wdaloz, I have a Facebook page just for that: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Micks-...22913031140583

    As far as how much above scrap price, etc, there's no guideline. Just how I feel at the moment, what I think someone might want, if I want to fool with it and so on.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Hey Wdaloz - I'm in GA but not Atlanta. I can say most scrappers that I know try and re-sell items on CL and places like that before scrapping. Scrap prices are the last option.
