I've been eyeing up these two 2 275 gal. tanks for awhile and decided to talk to the owner they've been sitting in his field for 5+ years. I offered him 10 bucks a piece did I over pay for them? this is how I figured .05 a lb 300 lb 15 bucks yes this is my first time buying scrap may be my last lol.
Id try to sell them as is, if they are in good condition. We just made a hog roster out of one. I think they weigh quite a bit less than 300lbs. Ours looks sort of like this one. Recent image by hvacpope on Photobucket
I know they are something like 280 I was thinking of making a big A$$ grill out of one already have a USD ( ugly drum smoker )and scrapping the other. That's a pretty nice pit how'd you make the rotis ?Quote:

dayum! that's almost nice as mine, almost ; )
I'd have charged him $10 to haul them out of the field, you'll be lucky to break even, then you'll be out the gas money. Look at the big picture, it's just scrap, it ain't gold!Quote:

Well turns out the tanks were his brothers I brought them bank and his sister in law gave me my money back (he got parkinson's and his mind is slipping) she apologized. She is going to talk to him since he also sold a couple of there trailers. In the end it was a relief to me I didn't have to sit on them and it freed up my trailer.
