I'll add this one thing.... I was trying to buy an old 65 foot free standing DX tower from a guy, the thing was laying in his field covered in weeds near his barn. I saw it all the time and finally stopped and told him I'd buy it for 100 bucks. He looked at me and said, "For a CB tower?!" "That's too much for a CB tower, you can have it for 50." I still tried to give him the 100 cause it's worth it but he kept saying over and over, too much for a CB tower.......... One man's trash is another's treasure time and time again.

Sounds like a good idea guys. The guy that owns the landfill in my area is a relative, so I may be able to get some good deals that way. I had never thought about that. Thanks.
