In *general*, a tower has zero value or even negative value unless it's on the ground already. Especially if it's 20' sections. Competent, insured labor is expensive.

It was brand new steel when built 12 years ago. I’m trying to get the specs on it from 
the company that erected it, but I know it was built for 3x the load we were putting on it, 
Its use was for NLOS and LOS PtMP wireless internet; it has a 4’ licensed dish on it 
for backhaul and 3 Telrad base stations and a few Cambium radios on it iirc.

Is it a name brand communications tower? Or some 70 year old AM broadcast tower 
that is not designed to have any antennas mounted on it?

Is there any value to a 140’ guyed tower from a resale standpoint? I know more 
information is ultimately needed, but the tower in question was erected about 12 years 
ago but is no longer needed.

Any rough estimates on the cost to bring the tower down?

Thanks,
