he might just want rid of it and get it out the way.

Ask him and say you'll try and get whatever you can for it and give him half the money, plus you'll get rid of it. Could still be worth 700 ish to you

good suggestion but i cant do that. He told me get shut of it about 12 months ago so i told him i threw it in the bin. i'll think of something. I'm sure there is a time during the weekend where the camera system shuts itself down and restarts. Should give me a couple of mins to load the company van up. I might have to do it in a few trips tho.
