^ No thanks. I own an appliance store and I sell some for $50.

Also, it’s hard to scrap fridges…

my stove still works just fine, we just converted to gas, so since he owns an appliance business he may want to sell it therefore it may be worth something to him, not just scrap.

It’s a good point. I get all my stuff from a dealer and they clean/inspect it for me, since I don’t have the time myself. It takes 1.5 hours to clean a fridge and about that much depending on how dirty the stove is. Plus, I’ve had working appliances that I got from people that became non working weeks later and it’s just a pain in the ass to re deliver a diff appl. and take out the old one for free. Thanks though, just lookin for scrap.

Fuckers in beat up pickup trucks, and a guy in a brand new silverado drive around west seneca every day and grab anything metal.

Its weird.

I left a gas grill out front, it was gone in 10 minutes.

I threw a sink out, the guys were hammering the chrome drain out of the porcelain to scrap that.

I have a copper weather vane with a pretty big copper horse on it. I suppose I could weight it, but I’m curious what it’s worth as scrap.

If it’s worth less than $10, it’s all yours.

I’ll try to weigh it tonight.

Quick spelling tip:

A single consonant usually makes the preceding vowel long. Scraping is what you do when you scrape something. Scrapping is what you do when you scrap something. The double consonant makes the preceding vowel short. Just a little rule to help with spelling. Yes, I’m a huge jerk.
