The market pretty much depends on the size and age of the machine. There is a small market for the older machines with manual controls with guys that like to collect and play with them and/or use them for small personal jobs. There is a bit bigger market for the same machines that are a little newer and have air controls among the same crowd. There is a market for the larger air controled machines to be used as draglines or for dropballing but it's small and around here still shrinking. Seems you can't find operators for them because they want cabs with A/C and just want to move a joystick, or they'd rather run a long stick trackhoe for the same reason. A "lever puller" can run a trackhoe but it takes a real operator to run a dragline. Then they get knowked out of dropballing for the same reason with the operators as well as because of the big hydraulic hammers they have nowdays. If you want to sell some of the old equipment try looking somewhere like the HCEA site, or IBDozing, or one of the other sittes more related to heavy equipment. I'm sure someone can use the machines you've got either as a play toy or for parts.
