I've weighed it up and my assessment was thus: I would tow it in the field, take the drawbar and Foster wheels off and burn it. I would probably get a ton or so of iron out of it, minus the plates and useful ironmongery. So say £200, possibly less given I'd have to cart it to the scrapman. I could move on the plates, wheels and drawbar, possibly the stub axles also, say another £3-400 in total. So i valued it at £400 given I'd be doing the work. I also know I've allready parted money to buy the two wooden wheel hubs that came off it some time ago. If anyone matched his valuation they are either an idiot or they seriously want that box. And there is not so many idiots about as there used to be. If what Piers says is true, and I have no doubt that it is, if you can buy a half decent one for £500, why would anyone pay any more than beer money for a tired one? But it does go to show you the economics, and gives you an idea why they get burnt.
