    A good craiglist find, if only I had a truck and trailer lol

    We have a forklift that we are giving away for FREE! The forklift does not run, it does not have the battery. You will just have to be able to come pick-up. Please email if you are interested.

    I wish I had a use and space for this beast. Even if its non-working, I'm sure it could probably be fixed up and cost less then a used one....maybe.

    I don't have .10c right now let alone $100. Not to mention I live in the city and i'm not sure they, or my girlfriend, would appreciate a forklift sitting in the yard. I'm pretty sure she would ask me to leave if I did have the means to have it towed lol.

    Yeah.. but if it went straight to the yard.. no forks.. and that is where the $ is made on them
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    parts are where the $$$ are in that....you should do a quick check and pull the parts and the rest would be a rented truck to take it to the yard...it would pay for itself in the scrap and battery scrap alone, plus the forks and other parts should be several hundred more.
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    Battery/batteries already gone. Still some good weight there. Talk to the local scrap yard. They may have someone with hauling capability. Even if you only net $100; that's $100 for a couple of phone calls.
