Yep, those mounts are handy. Looks like 2 bucks is the going rate! Some of these scrap guys just travel around charging a few bucks to remove old dishs or to take down an old TV tower. 75 bucks to take down an old American Tower isn't bad, then they go get a few bucks when they take it to the metal yard. Hard way to make money, in my opinion.
I have one customer who always has to "cash in her cans" before she pays her bill. I always think, if you have to collect cans all month to pay your internet bill, maybe you should re-think your priorities. But it's not for me to tell her what to do..... She is always late! -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Chuck Hogg Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 11:40 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] OT: Used Tower Pricing. I have a guy who pays his bill in dish mounts. $2 per mount delivered. We only accept the ones that are clean and reusable. He drops by every couple of weeks with 40-50 of them. Looks like they were removals from Dish/Direct TV.

Scottie, I've had some minor success by talking to a local metal scrap yard. It's a pretty good sized one, they put up a small sign at the pay window saying that if they get any tower sections to not crush or bend them. If they get a get sections they call and I go over. It's usually old American Tower 8 foot sections, like TV tower, but some are pretty useful. They charge usually 30 cents per pound and I pay a few cents over that for good sections in exchange for the sign next to the pay window. A month or so ago they called and I had to go out to a field to look at some that were too big for the metal collector guy to take into the yard. 2 80 foot heavy duty free standing towers in good shape laying in the field all overgrown with weeds. 150 bucks for the pair. Didn't know how much they weighed so I just offered the 150. They will also hold old DirectTV dishs and the J arm mounts for them if the sorters remember. Those are handy to have at 2 bucks each. As long as I pay more than scrap value, they are all over it. They usually have more stuff than I need though.

What is a good price to give for a standard Rohn SSV tower, 100' with sections 7N, 6N, 5N, 4N, and 3WN in real good shape, each section still assembled, already down and ready for loading. I priced it new at around $8500. I have looked at www.usedtowers.com, but those are way higher than what I got this one for. I already won it at auction, but just checking to make sure I didn't screw up. Do any of you know where to find used towers besides qth.com, eham.net, ebay, and usedtowers.com? I have a few local places, but I am looking to expand my searches beyond those mentioned and local. TIA, Scottie Wireless High Speed Broadband service from Info-Ed, Inc. as low as $30.00/mth.
