[QUOTE="CreviceSucker, post: 531123, member: 1804"] Location Location Location :) Depending what area and what type of mine. Aboveground Coal mines ? Dont touch them because they not only get rust due to the sulphur in coal (>sulphuric acid) but they also suffer with electrical gremlins due to corrosion in their wiring , the corrosive humid air gets into everything. Copper and iron ore I find not as bad and yes they can be cheap especially if its a large auction with many of the same type of vehicle. As mentioned , if its an underground mine or civil project , they can be worth only scrap value after 2 - 3 years because thats how totally f*** they will be. :) [/QUOTE]
