    Holy crap, I'd give my left one for those old gas engines! Those will go for more than scrap on Craigslist or ebay, guaranteed. Actually, most of that stuff looks old enough to be worth more than scrap. The two tillers, easy 30-40 dollars on Craigslist, probably sold as is. I bet you'd make a killing on ebay with all of that old stuff. You've got to give it a shot, if not ebay, at least Craigslist. If you were close, I'd buy those gas engines and the tillers. What state are you in?

    I'm no stranger to eBay, been selling there since June of 1998, sold everything from dryer lint for making paper, Pez the 6 ft display clown loaded with vintage inventory, when I purchased the clown, hand carved wooden carosel horse, gold and silver bullion plus much more than I care to remeber.

    Vintage cameras are my favorit, 2nd WWII radios, 3rd old car parts then tractor parts with old engines coming in last. Sometimes I will disasemble an engine to sell as parts because shipping from Canada is prohibitive cost wise.

    I could give you pages upon pages of things I sell on ebay.
