Depends on whether you simply go and load the wire and posts onto your trailer and go home...
...or if you have to go and remove the wire from the posts, spool it up, and then remove all the posts from the ground.

I've done it both ways... usually pay the first way, the second way, my removal services equal what the owner wanted for the posts and wire.

If I had to pull it all, I'd pass, unless they lowered the price.... unless I was in dire need of some exercise. Usually when I undertake such projects, I already have a definite idea of how I was going to use it....

You know, there is a prosperous boutique wine industry in Oregon. You could load it into a truck, put Granny in her rocking chair on top, and move to Oregon to grow wine grapes. Pinot noir is what is usually grown. The wineries pay really well for quality grapes.

Or, you could build trellis to grow hops. There is a serious market for quality hops.

Funny you mention hops,at our sustainable ag. class,there is a brewery getting ready to open (Sierra Nevada I think) and they talked about hops being needed.

I need to call the lady selling it to see what the deal is...but tilling 'virgin' ground kicked our butts...

Here we can buy 8000 fott rolls of high tensile new for $90 so use that as a basis for dickering. 36000/8000 =4.5 rolls.

I believe the 12.5 gauge wire is in 4000 ft rolls. Anyway, the 30 + rolls I installed were. The price is in the $90 range.

Mrs oz talked to her,we are heading that way in a little while,I guess she is removing some of the grapes but keeping others.

Also,from her not very descriptive description,they might be T-posts she has.
