Killing Bald Eagles is a completely different issue. We are talking old
electronic junk in whatever form it is in that is all it is period. If
you think it is something other than that then I believe you had better
get a life.

Defend it all you like. I still think it's just plain profiteering and
destroying
a limited resource.

Maybe those who think this is right will allow hunting of bald eagles
too....

And the next time you write to my personal E-MAIL, leave a valid address

for

my reply. Share your comments with the group. Yes, maybe he is trying to

put

food on his table. No one would knock him for that. Just seems a bit odd

to

tear apart "working" units. That is all I think anyone is trying to say.
There are reasons, I've had them as I've alluded to... It just seems to by
pass common sense though - in many cases.

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.
