recognised vehicle dismantler these days, or how difficult it can be to get
permission to set up as one in the first place.
That, and you left the stereo in... 'Stupid boy, Pike'

easy these days 'cos the Environment Agency are hot on leaking oil etc),
deal with the residue, have sufficient cars in stock to attract
customers even though some of those cars won't make money etc.
If you were to advertise all the bits on eBay and break it yourself and
cost how much time you put into it and cost the diposal of the unwanted
bits and the space you stored it on while it all drifted away I bet it'd
be several hundred quid.
And then there's the fucking great dog to feed.
Oh, and anyone who pays a scrappy to take a vehicle away isn't haggling
enough. Last year I got £30 for an old Maestro with half the interesting
bits missing.
Haggle harder.

why don't you exploit it, and set up in competition to that yard? After
all, you think you can pay more for the raw materials and charge less for
your sales, so you'll have no shortage of business, right? And still make
an excellent profit, you reckon.

To set up a legal, decent scrap yard in a sensible area you would need a
minimum of about 200,000 pounds, therefore you can reasonably expect to get
a large amount of return on your money, which is why they charge for bits
and no doubt the total income from some cars is quite good.
Do you or anyone you know, work or invest and NOT expect a good return?
