- Iron Contamination: Attached steel screws, shafts, or brackets immediately drop your load into the 'irony' category, slashing your payout.
- Form factor: Whole automotive carburetors are graded lower because buyers must process them to remove the inner steel and brass components.
- Market Spread: Local yard demand and global shifts dictate the 85.8% margin buyers take against the market index.
