That is what the bid details say.  Must be cut up.

hasn't this been researched before and the result was that they had to be cut 
into pieces before removal from the site so they could not be reconstructed or 
even recognized as towers???  I seem to remember this same lot or one almost 
exactly like it a year or two ago... maybe it never sold or the buyer defaulted.

Click on the link provided.
Click on the "Lot Details" tab.

This is where I think it gets fuzzy, where it says that there are "198000
LB" under "Units" leading me to believe that acquisition costs are 198000x
the bid amount.

I have requested clarification and am on my way to Huntsville.

Description:198,000 lbs (approx) galvanized steel extendable multipurpose
towers with nonferrous attachments.

It says 1 lot of about 198,000 lbs. I don't see where the price is per
pound. Bid is at $145. Doubt anyone is paying that per pound for scrap.

I sent a letter to my Congressman asking how it was this didn't somehow

Careful - this appears to be 198,000 pounds of scrap, now selling at $45
per pound, about $9M dollars, probably close to what the government paid
for it.

It looks like a better deal... but that's the way I read it.
