Scrap My Car For Best Returns
This is the final part of the answer. I will summarize by saying, the labor seems too high unless more work than assembly, sizing and setting is needed. The head seems too low unless quite light weight. The value offered for scrap (if that was the agreement!) is not far off at all.
In today's economy, practically everyone wants to invest in something worthwhile. According to financial analysts, investing in precious metal is very secure. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to invest in premium silver or gold. It is a good thing that there is always this kind of silver to turn to. It only requires small investment amount but the return is quite good. You can but scrap silver for a very low price because people consider them junk. Nevertheless, once you sell them or have it made into something different, then the value of it will change. It will be a lot more valuable than when you bought it.
Stay alert and keep your eyes wide open: Many people are under the impression that collecting scrap metal means traveling a lot and is, therefore, time consuming. But this is untrue. However, what you really need to do is stay alert and keep your eyes wide open for scraps of metals like old washing machines, cans, car parts, steel rods, bars, and just about any other item like this. Being keenly observant will help you find many metal scraps in and around your own neighborhood. Then you can also visit the various dumping sites that allow you to pick up useless metal pieces for free.
Another good reason why you should invest in scrap silver is that it is easy to buy and sell. You can just browse online to find a good buyer whom you feel you can trust and just contact them. You can decide to sell your scrap silver at anytime convenient for you. You can also find good customers who are interested in your precious metals online or in local areas.
Take some bottled water with you. Those junkyards can get hot. It can also come in hand for washing your hands or parts off. Lots of those vehicles are there because they were wrecked in muddy conditions.
The metal scrap industry is full of all types of metals, of all types of grades, and every type of "flavour". It is your job as a scrap metal "artist" to know the difference between red brass and yellow brass... (hint hint It's the color!) but also much more subtle things like the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel. You will learn very quickly by taking things to a dating for catholics. Ask questions, and be curious! Scrap yard crew are the best people to ask, and should be more than willing to help.
You can also be confident that the used auto parts you purchase will also fit perfectly on your car first time and every time. Spurious parts are known to have issues with fitment as they are only replicas of the original parts and everybody knows a copy is never as good as the original. So the question is why compromise?
But there is more to an auto part than just the part itself. The make and model and year of your car will have a great impact on how much the part will cost to replace and how easy the part is to get.
