And be fired . In my opinion , to most working class people , they have no option of unionization . Which is terrible in most cases . <| sep |> Omg sorry ! I just saw this <| sep |> Thanks , I had completely forgotten about it being used that way for edge guarding . <| sep |> I don ' t find that too surprising , actually . A little while ago used cars were expensive as hell and the market for scrap metal was sky high . Like you said , the junkyard was willing to give you $ 700 you can ' t even get $ 200 for most cars these days . They were offering like $ 150 for mine whereas just a year and a half ago it would ' ve been more like $ 500 . 3 years ago when I was looking for an old stick shift car there were all these people asking thousands of dollars for their ancient , oilcaked jalopies . Maybe this guy was still in that mindset thinking that anything less than $ 2000 for an uncommon , running car that he was specifically looking for is a decent deal .
