Was the mower tin? Does your yard pay different for tin, steel, and iron? I know I'd get the same price for both.
There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer

How much did it weigh??????????
Experienced Scrapper
sounds a touch low, but in the ballpark. I assume it was a small mower then with the dryer. I brought in a gas stove stripped of the copper wires one day while in a rush and got $14.00 for it as light iron.

the weight of the stove was 160lbs.

160# should have gotten around $15 by itself. Did you get a ticket (sales slip) with them?Originally Posted by chrisblackcat
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

I did Mick, but do not have it in front of me. In my truck. I will post the weight "in/out" details tomorrow in this thread. The other place I usually go to does not give slips for loads of light iron and I bet I would have got a buck or two more from them. But, my loads of light iron are usually 60.00 or less.
I was also in a hurry and that is why I went to this place that day. Not my first choice.
But, I am glad I did as a learning experience.

And I thought I had it bad at 7.5 cents a pound. That's why I don't haul in less than 4 tons at a time.
