[QUOTE="donna723, post: 481295, member: 1883"] My son does this sometimes and I can ask him for the particulars when he comes home. He and his friends sometimes go to auto auctions and buy up big old gas guzzler cars, strip off everything they can resell, then sell what's left for scrap metal at a junk yard. They always get more for it as scrap metal than what they paid for it as a car. I'd have to ask him to know for sure but I think you have to take everything off of it like tires, before it is weighed, and you have to have all the proper paperwork for the car to prove that you own it. The scrap yards have their own scales. They weigh it on their scales and then pay you however much per pound. I think the rates they pay vary by area and from dealer to dealer. It sounds like this guy is offering to pay you one third of what he gets for it as scrap metal. [/QUOTE]
