I would like some opinions on what my tower may be worth, money wise. I am considering listing it for sale it in the local newspaper.
Brand unknown. 60Ft Self standing, Stamped steel galavanized, Rotor Plate, Great condidtion, No bolts included. However, it requires 56 bolts/nuts 1/2 inch diameter by 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inch long. Base section has wide stance, approx 2 Ft. between legs.
Thanks,
Kattracker |

About $500-$600 here in California. Most of the 50ft Rohn 25 (Guy wires required) go for around $350-$450 used. It sounds similar, but self standing.
You should be able to sell it pretty quick for $450. The galvanized bolts and nuts are not cheap. |

Rohn 25 goes for about 50-60 a section here in NM. I think 500. would be a fair price for both parties, since the hardware is not with it. |

$500.00 is wayyyyyyy too much!! More than likely you will NOT sell it. For that price it will sit and rust away before anyone will pay that kind of buckage.. I know i wouldnt!! I once bought a 65' commerica tower off a guy once for 175.00. It was all made from angle iron steel and stainless and galvanised. I never put it up so i sold it for less than what i paid for it.. |

I brought 3 intermediate sections of 25G new (but stored outside for another tower that didn't get built) for $240. The top section cost $100 from the local distributor. Thats about $350 for a new 25G tower - 40 footer. |

kattracker,
It all depends on what people want to give for it.
Around here Towers and Complete setups go CHEEP!
And a lot of people will give them to you Free for taking them down.
Below is a link to an ad that was on e-Bay last week and the guy lived 35 miles away.
7 Element Beam, Tower, Rotor, Control Box, Coax and Hinge plate for Tower went for $157.50.
http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3067802428&category=48692&rd=1
At the price he sold it for a person could of driven 200 miles to pick it up and saved a fortune.
We have so many Used towers around here I generally only give $10.00 a section and that is if it is in Good Shape and I take it down.

Kirk,
Sorry but NO, the Antenna is a GIZMOTCHY 7 element.
They started in Business back in the 60's here in Mt Carroll, Illinois.
R.L. Bud Charles started the Charles Radio Company and started making the Gizmotchy Antennas about 1968 and they are still being made to this day in Mt Carroll, Il.
Just a little Infomation on the Gizmotchy Antennas.
