      Probably went out of business, easier to just walk away and let the landlord deal with them. But it made me want to cry watching all that cash being left behind! The curved yellow pieces were ripper shanks, they are worth around 2000 each, that big pin was a Jack hammer point 2-3 thousand, the two yellow “H” links in the crate were 5-10 thousand, even the parts he took to the scrap yard were worth about 10-15 thousand retail, what a shame!!

      Probably because it costs more to store something that may never be sold. A quick googler search turns up that your average skid is 48"x40". which equals 13.33 square feet.
      Warehouse costs average $8.22 per square foot in 2023
      Your average skid costs $109.60 per month to store. If the product isn't moving for one reason or another, it costs way more to store it than to toss it and buy new when the item is needed....

      @@austinduvall2422 I thought the same initially but Komatsu paint is typically a shade or two darker. If they were knock offs then it’s a very good possibility. But who knows, color wise they could have been Hitachi or any other brand. Nice catch though.

      @keithsutton9538 I know that but they process the steel it's iron ore that makes steel but they add stuff to it to make it what it is . Also keeping it out of landfills is important I wouldnt want to live next to a dump or near one but it could happen if they run out of room in the landfills.

    Man that was such a great find! Painful to watch you sell that expensive heavy machinery stuff for scrap value though... A couple of those blades alone go for about $100-500 depending on size and manufacturer. Those track master links go for around $300-1500 a piece, track pads are roughly $50 depending on size... I get that it's a quick 600 bucks but you've missed out on literally a load of money right there especially considering that those parts aren't that hard to resell. In the most respectful way possible I hope you educate yourself on these sorts of things for your own benefit. Stay safe out there and don't get poked by some sharp metal!
