Sometimes I feel sad seeing parts that could still be used just thrown away in bulk.
Setting aside selling on Yahoo Auctions… I thought about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I’m surprised by how many fasteners there are.
In reality they could still be used, but considering aesthetics and safety, they end up needing replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iron, stainless steel, and aluminum are the most common materials in motorcycles.
We buy from 1kg~

Like, why don’t you check it out? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Huh? They handle metals I’ve never even heard of.
Their range of purchases is quite wide (*’\u03c9’*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copper, the star of metals, definitely gets premium prices. <\/a>
But collecting it by the kilogram from motorcycles is quite difficult… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brake discs are quite bothersome as scrap.
Even though it’s stainless steel, the 400 series used in brake discs\u2014they buy those too, but… <\/a>
42 yen\/kg. Bring 100kg and get 4,200 yen… that’s volunteer work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I found surprisingly interesting was carbide. It’s quite expensive. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2,750 yen\/kg. That’s quite promising… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Catalytic converters? They seem quite promising! The prices are terrifying. Could a windfall be possible? Maybe not? <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

28,000 yen\/piece ~ 1,000 yen depending on size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I think I’ll make a carbide box…
Throwaway <\/em> throwaway <\/em> items that can no longer be thrown away, isn’t that how it feels? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
