I recently bought some used Rohn 25 for about $32 per section. This stuff 
was about 15 years old - clean, straight, with round bolt holes and no 
signs of rust or cracks. I believe it was a deal.

New Rohn 25 is about $70 per section. Used goes from $30-50, depending on 
condition. 

Watch out for Rohn 20 masquerading as 25. Rohn 25 has seven zig-zags, 
Rohn 20 has six.

Buy or borrow a Rohn catalog, it has a wealth of engineering information.
