Going to cost me about $300 to get it moved and it is only worth about $480 as scrap, although I understand there is a market if I wanted to resell it. Just considering all my options here. Any thoughts?

As part of my job we auction these often , even in poor condition they go for £600.00($900.00) all day long.on top of this is 15% buyers premium and 20% tax. Over here they are like gold dust
