Any question answered...

Let's compare it to a slightly different example. There's some software which is free to use for personal use, but you have to pay if you use it for commercial purposes.

Now to those who use it for commercial purposes it has value - it allows them to do some task which in turn lets them make a profit.

So if you're using something to make a profit, the provider of that resource is allowed/obliged [delete according to your political bent] to charge for it.

There is a market for raw gold, there is no market for knackered tyres because whatever value they may have as-is is so small as to be pointless and not worth trading in.

Old tyres have no value, I'd much rather give them to someone who can repurpose them in some way than have them go into landfill... Simple...

I think it's more akin to charging for a waste product, like horse shit. It has some value to some people, if you run a giant farm you could probably charge for it in bulk to someone else who needs it in bulk. If you have one pony you might give that shit to the guy on the allotment nearby, as it's far too low value as a one off to trade. If that allotment guy flogs his prize turnips for a small profit at a market then I'd likely say it's the time he put into growing that adds most value.

Old tyres do have value though.

Old crisp packets (AFAIK) have no value. If they ceased to exist it wouldn't matter, and would actually be a benefit because we wouldn't need to spend resouces disposing of them. If old tyres ceased to exist, not many people would care, except Velo-re, who would no longer be able to do make their products.

It's a pedantic point but a correct one, right?

It's a silly point...

You are Jeez and I claim my five pounds...

All very innteresting but it's got nothing to do with strimmers ^^ (but I now know what to do with my old tyres).

You are Jeez and I claim my five pounds...

Reported for bullying.

Yep.

I've just started dopp-o-belts.

I make belts from old tyres.

£1 paid per tyre.

PM me for details.

you're just devaluing the belts, not adding value to the tyres-as-raw-material...
besides when I was a kid I used to make keyrings out of old crisp packets and sell them for 20p. so there.

Eh?

Demand for the tyres has now just risen because there's a second party (me) who now needs them for my business.

I offer more than the other party for belts so all the old-tyre havers will sell to me, rather than give them away to Velo-re for free.

Velo-re goes out of business.

I am king cunt.

oh, yeah I misread. I thought you were selling the belts for £1. okay, I sell you the tyres instead.
want any empty crisp packets while you're at it? I can't be bothered with the keyring trade anymore.

I'm a bit bored of this now.

Nah, I dislike the cut of your jib and there is someone round here I already give my old tyres to.

I'm a bit tyred of this now.

Fixed.

Let's draw a line under this whole horrible mercantile episode and get back to strimmers.

It'll help everybody to calm their nerves if they just have a quick doppelkorn.

But I'm half way through almost the same argument but written differently. Probably best to leave it before jeez chimes in.

Trebles all round

So explain it all to me again, I don't think I got it the first time round – some used tyres, some free software (for personal use only) and a guy that collects horse manure for his allotment walk into a bar and doppelkorn buys the round? Does the jeweller get a drink too, or does dop give them a belt? What about the suggestively shaped turnips?

No I think we walk into the bar give Dop our collection of old tyres and he buys the beer. Shall we set a date and start a list?

I think it's about austerity, everybody has to tighten their belts.

In a way, you're all right.

It's a cry for help.

is it possible to fit a sram garmin mount without removing bartape and levers?
