    Scrap Or Sell

    I need some advice. I am a Project Manager for a demolition company in Baton Rouge, La. I'm Currently overseeing a project Demoing some apartment buildings, my company usually scraps everything we can from the building. I'm curious though, we have about 100 A/C window Units that are fairly new (most less than a few months old) my questions is should I attempt to sell these units and if so what type of company or people would be interested in buying them? Any information or advice would be appreciated I just got promoted to Project Manager so I'm trying to come up with ways to make my company more money. Thank you .

    Window AC units in Louisiana I am sure you could sell them... Most people there would want one or two...

    You could attempt to CL 'em for a descent price. There's also Ebay if you have the space to sit on em. Other then that if you want to scrap em out, most yards will take em. Me persoally I'd probably try ad buy one off ya and sell the rest on CL. Some things are best left sold locally.

    I'll bet an ad on CraigsList looking for someone to buy bulk units of AC's would generate some bites. Maybe a used appliance store. Make them an offer they can't refuse.

    The prices of scrap are really low right now, window units medium size would scrap out at around 15-20.00 each i would look for a used appliance store, and of course a/c"s are not in demand right now good luck
