Wow you could be the first in your block (cross that out first in your town) with way to get rid of those pesky dandelions...Duck tape bills weed control for those hard to get weeds.
"Yes you can call 1-800-Duc-Tbil for all those pesky weeds, I will come to your front door with my Flame thrower and make those weeds scream in agony for only $19.99 and wait if you call now I will throw in a special on varmit control at no cost to you".

LOL! ...and just for GJ members, I'll throw in the "Burn baby burn" upgrade that replaces the normal diesel fuel used with some old JP-3 jet fuel that my grandfather kept in a 55 gallon drum out back of the barn, because as he said, "you never know when ya'll need some."

You will have to outbid a bunch of scuba divers for that thing. Those are like gold for serious divers.

Hm, they're selling once fired brass ammo casings by the thousand pound pallet as well.....
Might want to get into reloading and sell some ammo before the market calms down on that stuff! LOL!

That is an interesting statement. Why would scuba divers want that thing?

Because those compressors are very light compact and extremely well made as far as quality goes. They are capable of pumping to about 3200 psi. There is a yahoo group of guys that buy those surplus and add air filtration to fill their scuba tanks themselves. There is even a guy that runs a business selling converted surplus compressors to divers that want to do their own fills.

I love the stuff that that site has for sale.
What's silly is that I've bought trailers (small, half-ton trailers) that required me to sign a form saying I'm not a bad guy, and won't sell the trailer to bad guys.
But a flame thrower? Sure no need to sign any forms, just give us the money.

Yea, no kidding. Everything from 2 1/2 ton trucks to spent shells.
Anybody near Norfolk and want a new garage floor...

It says it's 1/2 court, I imagine they mean half a basket ball court, so maybe enough to do a couple 2 car garages. This stuff is a lot like racedeck fyi.

Yea I was about to post the same thing. They absolutely love those things and bid them up to crazy prices sometimes.

That could really help with delinquent renters.....
All of the spent casing auctions I've seen are required to be destroyed per their conditions and signed off on by one of their employees.
You can't just load up a pallet of brass and head home with it...
Use them to fill high pressure dive tanks at home. The pumps are perfect for that, low flow rate, but high pressure. Just what you need for filling a 2000psi scuba tank. Basically all you need is the compressor, as most convert them to electric and then of course upgrade the filtration on them.

2000 psi would be a pretty low pressure scuba cylinder by current standards.

True, most folks that buy those compressors change out the relief valves to something more suitable in the 3000psi to 3500psi range. The 2000psi will just limit your bottom time. I have seen some super cheap guys use them as is though at 2000psi.
Those pumps are also popular with the paintball and PCP air rilfe crowds.
Would be neat to have a flame thrower in the back yard though.....
They have lifted most of the destruction ban for government surplus brass over a year ago. The destruction ban very negatively impacted law enforcement, since most law enforcement purchased commercially reloaded ammo. And the commercial re-loaders purchased government surplus brass.
On another note there is a 10% buyers premium and you will have to do a **** load of paperwork.

Our tax dollars at work...
This site does have some really neat stuff, though...
That flamethrower could probably be modified into anything that needs high pressure air...
Helluva sand blaster...
HMMMM....

You actually need just the opposite of those compressors for sand blasting. For blasting you need low pressure, high volume. Those pumps are high pressure low volume.

George Carlin's lecture on flamethrowers covers the topic well:
"Think for a moment about the concept of the flamethrower. Okay? The flamethrower. Because we have them. Well, *we* don't have them, the army has them. That's right. We don't have any flamethrowers. I'd say we're fucked if we have to go up against the army, wouldn't you? But we have flamethrowers. And what this indicates to me, it means that at some point, some person said to himself, "Gee, I sure would like to set those people on fire over there. But I'm way to far away to get the job done. If only I had something that would throw flame on them." Well, it might have ended right there, but he mentioned it to his friend. His friend who was good with tools. And about a month later, he was back. "Hey, quite a concept!" WHHOOOOOOOOSSHHH! And of course the army heard about it, and they came around. "We'd like to buy about five hundred-thousand of them please. We have some people we'd like to throw flame on. Give us five hundred thousand and paint them dark brown. We don't want anyone to see them." "
