Re: [MBZ] MAF-less
Beats me. All I know is that almost immediately after I posted on the local CL that the car was being parted I started getting offers for the cats for like $60. The activity made me realize they must be a hot commodity, so I checked with some local scrap metal people. Mine are considered large import cats and are selling for around $135 each at the local scrapyards. One guy kept emailing me with increasing offers. When he got up to $100, I told him I would take the going rate for them, $135/each. Haven't heard from him since.

Re: [MBZ] MAF-less
About 2005, when scrap prices were really high, there were a number of folks here who would slide under cars in parking lots [ie WalMart] and use battery sawzalls to cut cats out of as many cars as they could, then run them to the scrap buyers to support their drug habit. This happened so much that the cops put a serious hurt on scrap dealers who were found buying them and put regs in place to curb such activity..

Re: [MBZ] MAF-less
In theory only. In reality, the data is rarely collected for true hot stuff, like stolen AC condenser. A couple years back a BBQ cooker was stolen from out church. These cost about $5K; they are basically a big stainless steel grill with electric heaters which hold 2-3 whole pigs. This item was later found at a local scrap yard in trashed condition but somehow the paperwork didn't show who sold it to the scrapper. Like gun laws, this is a nuisance for honest people and no problem for folks with criminal intent. -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of WILTON via Mercedes Sent: Monday, August 10, 2015 2:45 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Cc: WILTON wilt...@nc.rr.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] MAF-less Good.

Re: [MBZ] MAF-less
They’re pretty retentive about selling scrap metals down here, although I can’t vouch for how successful that is. The issue for years were people stealing AC condensers, as they would just go up to them, take some insulated cutters and just sever the power and refrigerant lines and toss them in the back of a truck. It got to the point where the major recyclers would only take AC units from commercial AC places they had been dealing with. Can’t address the car thing, as I haven’t dealt with those folks, but I will be shortly. Certainly no shortage of places that “Pay Top Dollar” for your junk or wrecked cars down here, that’s for sure.

They were all waiting restoration and none ran, so most likely they all were sold for scrap, based on other things that were stolen in the robbery.. To date.. despite having clear title to each vehicle, cops have found no junkyard that will own up to taking them in, despite a state law that requires them to record VIN numbers and have title in hand.

Re: [MBZ] MAF-less
Scrap prices are at an all time low right now, so many recyclers are warehousing scrap, hoping for increase. I just sold 4 tons of aluminum 3 weeks ago.. wished I had waited.. but needed the material moved out.

Sounded kind of desperate to me. I'll bet I can gin up a pretty good looking receipt on my laptop in about 10 minutes. - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
