Sounds to good to be true! Are you saying you get the deed or just the rights to the scrap?
If you are buying the land for $200.00 do a title search and check for tax liens.

As far as the wire in the house is it copper or, as in many older homes, aluminum?
I have worked construction all my life and find some houses have copper for drain and waste lines, yet others are PVC.
Having a basement, sounds as if a lot of the pipe and wire is exposed. I would not know about a basement, here in FL, it would fill with water. LOL

the deal is my buddy bid on it and he gutted it and gave up so his selling it all for 200. its a country house and houses in the area that are run down sell for cheap.
