    Them links are for digger booms bud.
    Worth a fortune.
    Them yellow ones about £2000 each
    Them red plates are cutting edges for digger buckets £500 each
    Them bolts are £20 each
    Them roller skate things are pin guides for the boom pins on diggers £100 each😊
    Them valves are non return valves for digger booms £2000 each

      I was going to point out that Mike could have taken those parts to a Big Equipment repair shop and worked out a deal that could have made him more money for the parts than scrap price!

    • @h418lfc
      @h418lfc 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      ​@@comictrio It may be that those parts were made to the wrong measurements and links Could be bad castings with internal defects. Or for models that are very uncommon. On the other hand it's America so that could be thousands of $ in the trash, all we know is Mike got there first 😁

      Probably went out of business, easier to just walk away and let the landlord deal with them. But it made me want to cry watching all that cash being left behind! The curved yellow pieces were ripper shanks, they are worth around 2000 each, that big pin was a Jack hammer point 2-3 thousand, the two yellow “H” links in the crate were 5-10 thousand, even the parts he took to the scrap yard were worth about 10-15 thousand retail, what a shame!!

      I think the business must have gone under or something. Truly don’t know why the owner didn’t try to sell them! That’s a lot of freaking money! And that one steel “pole” looked like a brand new jack hammer head. There’s a lot of money left in that dumpster but absolutely no way anyone is picking that up

      Probably because it costs more to store something that may never be sold. A quick googler search turns up that your average skid is 48"x40". which equals 13.33 square feet.
      Warehouse costs average $8.22 per square foot in 2023
      Your average skid costs $109.60 per month to store. If the product isn't moving for one reason or another, it costs way more to store it than to toss it and buy new when the item is needed....

      @marcypapageorgakis5020 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @keithsutton9538 I know that but they process the steel it's iron ore that makes steel but they add stuff to it to make it what it is . Also keeping it out of landfills is important I wouldnt want to live next to a dump or near one but it could happen if they run out of room in the landfills.

    Man that was such a great find! Painful to watch you sell that expensive heavy machinery stuff for scrap value though... A couple of those blades alone go for about $100-500 depending on size and manufacturer. Those track master links go for around $300-1500 a piece, track pads are roughly $50 depending on size... I get that it's a quick 600 bucks but you've missed out on literally a load of money right there especially considering that those parts aren't that hard to resell. In the most respectful way possible I hope you educate yourself on these sorts of things for your own benefit. Stay safe out there and don't get poked by some sharp metal!
