is much less hassel to just sent equipment to the scrap yard.
Yeah, I believe you're right on that. 10 or 15 years ago I had a VAC spotted and went to talk to the guy, looked at the tractor and made him an offer which was $75 since scrap value on 3000 lbs. at that time was about 30-35 dollars; I even told him that. The hood was off along with the head, starter, etc. 'Nope' he said 'I'm gonna fix it'. 'OK' says me and away I went.
About 3 months later a friend called and said 'Hey, they's a VAC down at the scrapyard, you better go look'. I went down and gave $75 for it .... Yep, it was the same one only I couldn't find the head laying around.
So, the guy had to load it, haul it and then sold it to the yard for $35 or so instead of to me for $75 ..... go figure :roll:
I think a lot of times a guy won't sell it to an individual because he's afraid the price ain't enough and it will get around the coffee shop about how he got taken :shock:
