📊 What Determines Grade Value:
- Metal Composition: Payouts depend on the ratio of copper to aluminum. Pure Copper Radiators sit at the top of the price bracket, while aluminum units track lower base metal prices.
- Contamination Levels: Any steel, plastic tanks, or rubber hoses attached will downgrade a unit to 'Dirty' or 'Irony' status, significantly increasing the 67.5% spread.
- Processing Ease: Heater Cores are small but high-value due to their copper content; however, they require more handling than large industrial Coolers & Condensers.
- End Material: Plastic ends provide zero metal value, whereas Radiator Ends made of brass are a specialized high-value recovery item.
