I'd rather been wondering that myself during this thread. The name "scrap dealer" ought to serve as some sort of notice that they're there to deal in scrap metal..
Sure, in times when business has been slow some of them may have been happy to keep and sell on unscrapped stuff, but that isn't the case now. And surely if you don't want something to be scrapped then selling it to a //scrap dealer// isn't the smartest move..
Christopher Tidy gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Ri-i-i-i-i-i-ight.
How's your application to the Charity Commissioners going? What do you mean "Which application?" - surely you're looking to make this retirement home that you're setting up for superannuated JCBs a charitable trust?
Oh, wait a mo... You're not actually doing it yourself? You're expecting somebody else to pay to transport and store this unwanted kit that you don't think should be scrapped? Hmmm...
The point we were trying to make is that we don't think you should scrap good machines just to make money.

Amidst that barrage of sarcasm I get the impression that your opinion differs from mine. Am I right? If so, forget it. As I said to someone else earlier, either you get my disgust or you don't.

From a non-scrappie point of view, that's fine, Chris, but to a scrappie it's just a living, nothing more. It all ends up in that great melting pot, so as long as he has turned over a few bob and made a profit, he doesn't care and doesn't NEED to care, it's his living.
