Leroy, the main value in an old barn cleaner is the heavy steel chain. That part is easy to remove. If the gutter cleaner runs you just park your truck/trailer under the chute, take the chain apart, and run it out. If they want the powerhead, once the chain is in the truck, a few minutes with a pry bar, and so is the powerhead. You can just slide them off the end of the chute and let them fall into the truck. Nothing "bolted down" or "permanent" about it.
I don't care if there wasn't much scrap, scrappers ALWAYS show up at these old farm auctions and buy up anything that sells cheap.
Unfortunately I do not have a comfortable solution to this problem. Odds are slim the buyer will ever show, but that only happens to everyone else. If it were me, the buyer would show up the day after I closed on the place. I'd tell him to beat it, and he'd be back in an hour with a well-dressed lawyer pointing out all the technicalities discussed above. Yes, over $25.
This is really a cautionary tale to make sure you cross your I's and dot your T's when you set up a sale. Give them X days to get it out, or they forfeit their purchase, incur storage charges, or however you want to work it. JUST MAKE SURE IT IS ALL LAID OUT FOR THE BUYER BEFORE BIDDING STARTS. This is the auctioneer's job, but it's your job to make sure they're doing their job.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
