Bought this sight unseen, now I wonder just how big it is and if I
have a chance of selling it.

Ooh, that is one _big_freakin'_ass_ Erector Set, Ig.
It sure was nice of them to disassemble it for you.
I hope you find a buyer. What'll you charge them to reassemble it in
their factory?

IMHO, You'd be damn lucky to find a buyer. WAY to big for any hobby
type or small shop even. This would go in a large manufacturing
operation. Industry will buy exactly what they need exactly when they
need it.

OK, guys, I do not mean to be unrealistic and dreamy eyed.

But I have a question, perhaps I would have a chance to sell the top
beam and the lifting mechanism?

The only places I can think of that might be interested in something
like that used would be: oil field repair shops, mining repair shops and
perhaps industrial marinas or a rock quarry. The places that can afford
to buy one new will do just that, so it's the smaller places that deal
with heavy stuff that would be interested in a used one even if they
need to have it inspected for OSHA purposes it's still a lot cheaper
than new.

Some of the places that can afford to buy new , still save money when they can.

If I recall correctly the second bridge crane at the Explosive Handling Wharf was a used crane. It is a bit bigger crane than the one Iggy has. The Trident II weighs 59,000 kg.

Nice! Gonna scrap it or auction it off? That could be used nicely in
power plants, aircraft service, ship repair etc etc

10 tons is only 20,000 lbs. Its not that beefy.

You could lift the turret off a battle tank maybe. Pick up boats to 40
feet (steel/power boats)

Be nice at a marina..but unsuitable for sail boat lifting.

I am going to scrap most of it, but keep the boom and make an
attachment for my 30,000 lbs forklift. It would get me a telescoping
boom that goes up and down.

How about at a scrapyard, to unload trucks?
