Five years ago I helped a friend clear out his 'car stuff' when he was going through a divorce. He had literally tons of Chevrolet parts which included 2 mint '69 subframes. One was ready for installation and the other only needed a top coat of paint. Both subframes were perfect..

I rescued them before they went into a dumpster, hauled them home and racked them against a wall in my shop for safekeeping. Three years later I needed the room and hauled them to a local swap meet where one guy bought both of them. The finished one went for $450 and the other for $300...Canadian.
