Levi,
Where I take my scrap(Champion's in Lodi) I am getting over $100 per ton
for junk cars stuffed full of old appliances and such............If you have
alot and a reasonable way to haul it it's worthwhile. If not, like you
said, just best to give it away for the convenience.
Keep an eye out for catalytic converters and set them aside, they are
worth very good money and can make a load of scrap pay pretty well if you
can get 3 or 4 as the smallest ones are bringing $35 as long as the
honeycomb is intact. Copper is paying well over $1 if not $2 a pound now as
well. Pretty easy to come up with a couple hundred bucks worth of junk in a
big hurry.

Ahh, sounds like the powdercoating is flammable, or otherwise gets that
way
in an enclosed heated area...
Yeah, probably just a couple bucks though. Some guy stopped by last
weekend
looking for scrap. I may make him up a pile of stuff, just doesn't quite
seem worth the hassle to me if someone is willing to take it for free.

Hi Levi,
I am not certain of the exact temp needed but I do know it must be an
electric oven or it will explode.........Is your oven electric? If
nothing
else tin price is up and that old oven is actually worth a couple bucks
at
the scrapyard.
I bet a toaster oven would work for really small parts and practicing.
