Scrapp Is at a real low.... 60.00 a ton.. So whats that engine weigh?
Reportedly about 190,000 in its present condition.
Don't believe that much in scrap value based on current market.
Exactly, especially since it is NOT "processed scrap", i.e. SOMEONE needs to expend LOTS of money to "cut it up"!

The initial "guestimate" of $17,700 is 3+ times the $60/ton price, based on a weight of 190,000 lbs.

Also, Jason said in the podcast episode that the tender is leaking crude oil. Presumably, Inland Environmetal gets to walk away from that problem as well.

This new "scrap value" of $35,000 sounds like the contractor has decided to gouge the preservationists, BIG TIME.
