Used towers just aren't worth very much.
I couldn't sell my nice crank and tilt Tri-Ex for $500 so I gave it away.
The guy came over and took it off the base and hauled it off.
It was going to cost more to ship it than it was worth.
Oh....and it didn't have a speck of rust and the antennas were removed too.
New LM470 crank and tilt aren't 11k either.
I've been looking them over but I think in the end I like the US Tower
better.
Bill....I'm not into making offers but if you would put a price on it I
might be interested.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] TriEx LM70 - Offer????
Lee, my friend,
Right now its Amateurs being Amateurs.......
The trend of thinking goes something like....
1.- He is moving and does not want the tower, but has to get it off the
property in order to sell the property....
2.- The tower is in an estate liquidation.....
3.- He's in a divorce and the court will make him take the first offer and
give it away.
True is, I don't need to sell it its just too short at 70 feet for my
use...I need 85 feet, ( that is where my new 4 element Quad says it wants to
be...)
right now I have towers at 145'...104' and my test tower a hazer at 68' .
I would like to sell it and put up another 100"+, crank-up.
See:
http://www.kc4pe.com/amateurshack.htm
So no one will make a decent offer in hopes that the seller gets frustrated
and say take it...take it ... its free.....just get it off my property...!!!
If you bought the tower today your going to lay out 11K plus........I have
been offered $500.00 to $1800.00 for it...!!!!
Isn't that something.....I may just keep it and put a notice on the web that
it is sold..for $7000, just to tick-off a bunch of greedy amateurs...!!! Or
"Good Will" will take the donation
and give me a right off ticket for 5K.....
So more than one way to skin the cat!!!!
-Bill
