    Cast Iron Radiators

    I am looking for ideas for selling cast iron radiators other than to the scrap yard. They are heavy and a hassal (sp) to move and scrapping them is the easiest (but lowest paying) way to sell. Any ideas to make more than scrap value?

    If you can store them for a while I would do as others have said, look for decorators and those who supply them. Mike

    Thanks for the replies. Good ideas, I just hate loading, unloading, loading and unloading. But thats part of the business. I'm picking up a few radiators soon so I guess I will make some calls!
