    Wink I have about 15 Hyrdaulic floor jacks

    I got 15 or so floor jacks from a Shop yesterday that was getting rid of all their older stuff. they may need fluid or some just as parts but an auctioneer came yesterday and told me if I haul them to the auction id get atleast $10-15 a piece..I only paid .09 a lb for them but some of the older ones are 100 lbs each so thatd mean Id have about 9.00 in each plus labor and fuel to carry them 15 miles down to the auction house...

    Any ideas?



    I run a small scrap yard in Kannapolis nc and always separate what I can sell for more then scrap value.

    I would spend time on more lucrative things. Taking things to auction is still a gamble.

    How often is the auction?
    I would flood with 15
    I would do 5 for the next 3

    they are easy to fix. use a few for parts and buy some oil for them. sell on Craigslist for about 100 each. or sell the wheels. they go bad often and are not cheap
    Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.

    Thanks for the Replies. almost all of them have good decent wheels on them.. most also have handles still. I noticed two or three are missing one wheel or so.. I am straightening up the shop today and ill post a pic of them.
