That blazer will scrap with my prices after I break it down for $625-650 (body 445, wheels 60, converter 95, radiator wire battery etc). I'd take it to my 3 lots and put it up for $800, I'd let them talk me down to 700 but stop there, the 1st time you give one away they will expect it every time. Pass the problem on make some money but leave them room to make a nice profit.

you getting over $200/ton for auto bodies right now? envious...

That's crazy, we're struggling with $125/ton here in NorCal. I sell almost all of my complete vehicles to Pick N Pull (they have a couple in AR so you might've heard of them) and only sell bare parted out carcasses to the scrap yard these days. Best it's ever been is $200/ton.
