Friend of mine was at a big machine shop sell out a couple years ago. He was buying up the most useless things -- to me (Pallets of Hoses, (Hydraulic) and old hydraulic motors pumps and etc.also on the pallet with the Hyd motors were a bunch of old fire safety lights like in the mines all corroded as aluminum would be, not knowing the condition. took me two trips with a 12' trailer to get it all home. maybe had $250.00 total in buying up this stuff. Since then he did buy a 4300 ford backhoe and replaced all the hoses on it with many more left under tarp ,
He scrapped the unusable items but not any pumps or motors. forgot to say one pump was a new in box 2 stage. but the junk had it hid.
He got most of his money back in just the scrap.

Me If I sell something I have to sell it for Better than half of what I paid for it-- even if I got it for free .
 
That's been my thing at auctions lately,especially with one local auction team of brothers. They seem to get the sales with a whole lot of plunder. I've been coming home from their sales with cans,boxes and bags of small stuff for one to five bucks a pop. Unbelievable how much new in the box stuff I've been coming home with.
 
Got the hydraulic controls for a Fordson at a clearing sale $25, two bidders, other pulled out at $20. Previous week Wreckers quoted me $300. I was chuffed to say the least.
