    Patriot,

    You might not have considered the following question: Who should remove items that are not going for scrap?



    For example, if a guy buys a turbogenerator, he will likely want to have his own contractor remove it. Your guys are not TG experts and don't know what is important when cutting one loose.

    It's money in your pocket to allow others to arrange to remove goods they plan on reusing. There might be a few caveats you need to ensure are applied, such as their removal must not destroy adjacent equipment or make access unsafe (reinstall handrails, block off openings and the like) but it would save you tons of fiddling with stuff with your own crew.

    Get the buyers to do the work, even if it's picking up something simple like an air compressor or a metal lathe. As is, where is.

    Sorry, I might be stating the obvious...give me a kick if I should shut up...

    Jon.
