As you commented to another poster, this is targeted for those that have more money than they can ever spend.
Probably these type of buyers would never consider recycle or scrap value.
Were I ever to be so money rich, I pray I would have more sense, on the other hand who am I to judge.
As I also pointed out, when you have that kind of money, it literally becomes pocket change. . . meaningless. Some people make so much money they literally could NOT spend it faster than they make it. The kind of person who can buy a dozen Cadillacs for his or her lunch guests. . . and not notice the bill. . . or ask for a quantity discount.
