When I first went to see the load, I talked to the seller, and could see that he just wanted to get rid of it, but he did want to get some money for it. The weight I just estimated, one of the hard drive array racks had sticker on it saying “net weight 1450 lbs”, so I could guesstimate the rest of the weights. I knew the truck rental runs around $200 or so, so I offered accordingly. Overall it came out to roughly shred price, including delivery. The seller accepted my offer without the slightest hesitation, I probably could have low balled him some more. However, I still feel better about offering a more fair price.
