    Ha, same here partner. That's crazy talk. I scrapped just one before, got $15 for the steel and $18 for the motor. $5 for brass and aluminum... i could see the value if they worked, but still not $500 worth.

    Looks like the bigger one is on its side,that means the compressor is on its side.Correct me if I am wrong,now the oil in the comp.has migrated to the coil and throughout . Not good!

    I love the " someone told I could get 500 for these" line. Then why didn't that person buy them. Offer him the $30 and I bet he jumps on it.

    If that was E pay, wouldn't surprise me at all if some one who fancies him self a scrapper would buy it and pay for shipping. I've seen junk comps go for just as ridicules prices.
