If jiggling the battery before worked, he's right- coulda just fried commutator in starter. She's a woman and can do any damn thing a man can, so if you can get someone to loan you tools, before junking it, you may decide to look under the vehicle, the engine terminates into the transmission. A battery cable should run down to the starter. That's going to be simplest way to see "Hey, this is starter".
Last thing I worked on was a tractor, but I've never seen more than 6 bolts, and less than 3 hold a starter on. Getting a commutator turned at a machine shop is about $40 in WB. Maybe less if you bring some scrap.
Getting rid of old baggage is your business though, and if you want to junk it, junk it. Just call and make sure you have an agreement on price towed. Look up your VIN, then see if there's not a listing for curb weight. Ask the JY if they're going to try to screw you on it having fluids(anti-freeze, oil, gasoline) in it, what are they taking out of weight for the tow. Tell them you want cash, no checks. If they know you're living out of it, whether you have title or not, they'll sometimes screw you by cancelling the check. If they say state law find a place that will play ball to your satisfaction.
In Baltimore, with the ECP problem, there are so many scrap yards there, it is a Mecca for scrap.
Still, you'll be lucky to get $200 at a scrap yard right now. That's only reason I was suggesting keeping it, other than a way to get down the road.
If you don't want to end up with tickets for no tag or insurance, or if you don't have any paperwork on the van, there's that too. You take what you can get, if you have to take a check, tell them only so long as they drop you during business hours at the bank the check was issued at. Bank will probably take 3% or so. Factor that in.
Lovely world we live when you're down. That's why I don't care if someone screws a corporation anymore, the corporations raise prices whether they get screwed or not, so do what's best for you. The corporate mindset is we have 330million other people within US borders we can screw, so we don't care if we lose your business. So do what cha hafta.
