Would a couple of compressors be worth anything scrap?

[CHIEF]

I've been told to dispose of a couple of compressors at work.

Would these be worth anything in scrap value or would a merchant not normally bother with these?
Or alternativley would i be better popping them on fleabay?


Cheers.

Stick tehm on ebay with as good a description as you can. Someone, somewhere runs a compressor refurb business and will buy them, that or a mug who needs a cheap compressor for a short while.

Last time we took some old machines to the scrap yard they paid £100/tonne for it - So we got about £30! (less time to take it there, less transport costs... so not much but at least it was recycled)

YOu get more if it is all stripped down and only metal.
