I hate to be the one to say it but sometimes the scrap pile is easier than dealing with people.
I don't like junking good stuff but more often than not, the bullshit exceeds the greed and I have used the scrap pile to clean out. The scrap company won't try to lowball you, won't hit on you, won't try to rob you, won't try to check out your other stuff that is not for sale, or anything else that is just a waste of time. you get your weight ticket and go to the kiosk and get your soda money and drive away with a load off.
