price of scrap is certainly on the up.

The other thing that is a bit of an earner is old cats, my old rattler that i just took off the car got me £24 and a complete one will get me £40

.. and why they can't be bothered to help you out with bits and pieces worth a couple of quid any more.

I guess the scrap metal dealer near me, will start selling soon then.......he stockpiles it when the price is low and at present has several large mountains of cubes of metal.

He runs about in a RR  ::)

Theres one near me who does something the same.  At some magical time, theres a fire on the premises which conveniently guts out the interiors etc of hundreds cars stacked quite a few high.  They then get cubed and sold on as a higher grade scrap 'cos it saves stripping them down to plain steel shells and gets a better weigh in value......   ::)
