my old 95 2litre and been quoted £100 at a Vaux breakers. Is this about right or am i being screwed? :-\
-
Sounds a bit low, but wait for one of the breakers, as they will have a better idea of the value of weighing in shells...
-
Thinking scrap is down a bit a the moment . . a good pointer is if my local breaker/scrapper is piled high in his yard ,then the price is low .
At the moment the yard is as full & stacked high as I've ever seen it . . . so guess it is a low price at the mo :-\ :-\
-
It is quite low at the moment.I got £100 for a (pretty much) bare rolling shell about a month ago.
-
Scrappy offered me £150 a few months back for a full working elite :(

Last week, cars and light vans £95. I didn't go up to scrap Herman, he's going as well as ever, probably better actually, but he took 161kg of scrap iron, brass, lead and aluminium worth £74. These were the metal parts of my now demented father-in-law's model ship that he never got round to building. We were never quite sure where he was going to float it given that this was the weight of the mechanical bits, so there was a hull, deck and cabins to build on top.

The titanics weight was over 50 000 tons and that floated :-\ :-\ :-\

Only for a very short while :P

That's because they used patterned steel ;D
-
And they didn't try to build it in the dining room and store it in the back garden of a house on the welsh borders.

That sounds about right with the scrap prices at the moment :y

Its worth putting up an add somewhere like egay ect , when i was offered £150 from the scrappy i decided to advertise it and in the end i got £350 for it + £50 for the remaining tax :y
