The only cost that matters is what it is worth to someone else, and being that moving it is going to be a royal pain in the backside there isn't a whole lot of value there. If he can get rid of it without it costing him anything, I think that is the most he can hope for. Moving it, in one piece, would take several people, a flatdeck truck (or trailer), and potentially even a small picker.

Providing the equipment that goes with the tank is reasonable quality, a good option might be to offer the equipment for free (or a very reduced cost) to whoever is willing to get the tank out of the restaurant in the middle of the night before August 1st.

I have to agree with this!
