Parts are always worth more then the hole try buying a car a piece at a
time.

Not that I agree with stripping a "working" unit apart to sell the
parts, but I have seen cases where an item was "close" to working
condition, but to put money into it to get it to work was more
expensive than had the person stripped it and sold it for parts - as
the parts for that particular unit were hard to find and not
necessarily cheap. The only time I've stripped working items to sell
parts from, is if I could not sell it whole, or it was too expensive
to ship and I found people interested in buying the parts. I did
quite well that way. Maybe this guy "feels" he can make more parting
it out than it is worth! This guy may have an axe to grind.. Maybe he
doesn't like Ham and this is his revenge - or as another stated, his
therapy. Who knows what may be the driving force......



I can understand the emotion. Seeing something perfectly good ripped apart
sets my teeth on edge as well. I guess we all have to console ourselves
with the idea that those parts will go on to make any number of 'not
working' sets 'perfectly good' again...although given an option, I'd think
that an original--not cobbled together with parts from donor sets--would be
worth more.

Maybe you would prefer he have to apply for a government permit
before he could disassemble it.
