   Unless you use the simple formula:   
   current price of scrap metal * weight of scrap metal in object = value of   
   object

   Problem is that you can't always trust the price something "sold" for on   
   e-bay.  A very rare record found at one of our local "used music" stores   
   recently "sold" on e-bay for something like $95,000.  The money was never   
   sent to the seller.
