I always wonder what all the shops & t.v shows for that matter, do with all the take off parts ?
Do shops eBay the stuff? do the customer's come and take it back? or does it get recycled at least and how do you keep track of all that stuff in a busy shop? specially if the customer wants to know what was sold or taken off 
Thanks for answering my curiousity  |
Your answer is in your writing, all of the above. Only speaking from own involvement in my past shop but some will have the shop take care of the old items (sell to help with the bill) some don't care what is done with the old parts. Some want their old parts back, and some parts are just junk, old worn out. I'm sure Phil and RS are not taking any good big blocks to the scrap yard but I guess you never know.
If you are thinking of you want to buy some of what you see, most projects you see posted by the busier shop are way farther along then what the pictures show, so those parts are most likely long gone as shop space is at a very big premium. Hope this helps with your question!
