I just happen to have this 32" torsion spring with a 2" i.d. left over from
an obvious home repair. I placed it in the garbage, at first, but I
retrieved it--in case it may be valuable! ; )


You don't recycle where you live?

Scrap steel brings about $225/ton, or around eleven cents a pound. He'd most
likely spend more on gasoline taking to a recycler than he'd get back in scrap
value.



Come on now. No fighting to be first in line to buy it!!!
New one's are going for upwards of $60. This one's already been cut in
two for easier storage! Serious offers only (please).
