Two guys from Nevada called about my acre lot of Snow crop dusters and three barns of parts. When one asked "How much do you want for the Scrap Airplanes?" I shot him a price off the top of my head.
Tomorrow they are going to accept or make a counter offer.
I did not ask them what they planned to do with the airplanes, engines and WW2 military parts, but I started to wonder, when they kept asking what each airplane and engine weighed.
Here is my dilemma:
Should I sell all that stuff to a couple of guys who will crush it and smelt it, if they agree to my reasonable-but profit making asking price?
Or should I wait for you guys to get off your butts and buy the pile in bits and pieces and in drips and drabs?
I am under some time constraint to liquidate the inventory since the owner of the property wants it off her place within a set period of time.
I bought this stuff as a way of earning a living, of putting the parts back into circulation and to help the widow of the pilot who bought it all in the first place.
Scrapping the metal is not the highest and best use for these parts, but it does achieve two of three of my goals.
If you thought you wanted one of my parts on my photobucket page or saw an add on WIX, please do not procrastinate in contacting me. I can set some stuff aside before the sale, but after the Franklins weigh in my palm, the parts are theirs.
I will of course post their phone numbers (if they wish) and you can contact them after the sale.
I watched an aluminum bailer work over the parts at Hawkins and Powers and have seen what a back hoe can do to a P2V Neptune. It is an ugly sight. This was not the future I had planned for the Snows but in this economy money talks.
