Default Cast Iron Tub, keep it?

Remodeling my bathroom. Tub weighs maybe 250-300 lbs. Do I keep it for
future casting projects? Is this the right kind of cast iron?
I can cut it up with either my 12 lb. sledge or my plasma cutter. Storage
of the pieces would not be a problem. Alternatively I could drive it to
the iron monger and pick up maybe $20.

Thanks

Sell it as a cast iron tub?

Old cast iron tubs are in vogue in my part of the world, people are
remodelling and fitting old cast iron tubs, especially the ones with
external / claw feet.



Same thing around here. A cast tub in good condition brings a lot of
money. 2-300 dollars is common for a salvaged one.
