I'm against it as well. There is a "price guide", it's what dealers
charge for an item, and what scrappers pay for it. You won't get
dealer prices (unless you get *very* lucky), and you should expect to
pay slightly more than a scrapper.

As for what dealers will pay for an item, take a look at eBay,
that'll give you a good idea, several of the people buying stuff
there are dealers.
