You need to feel him out...........does he just need to get rid of it?????..........It has some value but its scrap unless you feel like trying to look up all the part# on EBAY...........Some of that stuff has re-sell value but unless you know what your doing it's scrap (I don't have a clue I would scrap those units)............Ask him what he will take for them and make him establish a price.............If not I would go look at it (if not to far away) and shoot him a fair scrap offer based on the weight of the item..........Try to pick the item up (Most scrappers can dead lift at least 75LBS...........So if you can't move it then you know it weighs at least 100lbs.............Let us know how it goes

I'm with Mike on this one. Feel him out because if he is willing to bring them to you, he is not sitting back waiting for a sucker. He wants them gone. If you throw a guesstimate at the weight and offer him a price per lb, you might be overshooting yourself. But for all you know, he is looking for slightly less than resale value. He may be looking for $200-$300 out of it, while you are looking to pay $30-$50 or so. Or, he may just want $20 to pay for the gas he used to bring it to you. All depends on his intent and attitude towards it.
