It does not make sense, I understand this kind of business, but wouldn't there be competition trying to get all those that would keep sale prices up?

Actually these were complete hood systems with return air so their are generally 4 separate components to each. Except here they used two large return air units for all hoods. I sold 1 heated return air unit for $1500 and another for $2000. Heated return air is not required down south so I sell those off separately up North. The 7ft hood with ansul and exhaust fan sold a few days after I pulled them for $1400. The other three hoods with ansul and exhaust fans I still have and generally price at $200 a foot without the return air fans.
As far as why they sold for that? That I'll keep to myself.
I also neglected to mention and what generally ends up happening is one of the other buyers came unprepared (I have all of the equipment needed) so he paid me $500 to pull one of his hoods that day. Another bought 2 9ft hoods and only needed 1 and he was also unprepared. So I traded my 9ft for his two 9ft's for pulling his as well. The additional 9ft I sold before I left the site that day to another person.
So in all actuality I was already in green $xxxx before the day was up. In addition I ended up geeting to know the owner of the franchise while there who allowed me to pull many other items which I'm still doing. IE. the buyer of the walk ins backed out because it was too much work to get them out so I have my guys pulling them now.
