I find it unusual that scrap in Penn would be that much more than scrap out
here... but who knows?

Your $218 number is far closer to our prices.

Cheers,

Jeff

    Have you actually scrapped a van for $700?  That's more than twice what
a
    scrapped van goes for here in Cali.  And we're a lot closer to China!

  not in the last 6 months since scrap metal has skyrocketed.   the
scrapyard near me pays the highest in the area.  a guy i met locally just
scrapped out a 91 audi last week for $600.   and i know the vanagons weigh
more than that, especially a westy.
  the last time i took a vehicle to this scrapyard was about a year ago, a
becaically a shell, 91 vanagon with no motor, no trans, no doors, no gas
tank, no interior, no wheels, no spindles, no radiator..and it even had the
front and rear clip cut off it.   and i still got $218 for it.   just think
what i would have gotten if i had left it complete..
