Ya it rocks, and I know EVERYONE around here for a 50 mile radius and there are so many old abandoned farm houses and old vehicles taking up space everywhere, just the other day I went to a farm yard, and the old guy gave me a tractor radiator, weighed 85lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got $1.70 a pound for that baby!

Did you cut the steel off it? Sounds like you just hauled it in as is and got what we'd call "Unprepared Radiator" price.

1.70 sounds like a clean price to me. I just got 1.40 by me the other day for clean. What would it bring with the steel still attached? I have never taken them in without being "clean".

Yeah, my mistake. I just checked and the last price I've got is $1.75. When I read that, I was thinking $1.70 seemed awful low for prepared radiators. I had just hauled in several a couple weeks ago as part of a load, too, so I guess it shows how much attention I paid.
