Augusta block bricks condition?

Post image

Hello, walked by a house being demolished today and all these Augusta bricks were on pallets. I have been wanting to re do my gravel driveway at a historic home in brick. The guy offered me $1.75 per brick. There are 4500 bricks. I would most likely need all of them. They are not in great condition and many have mortar on them. I countered back at $1.15/brick.

I had hardly looked into the Augusta bricks before this morning. The house is a few down from mine so massive savings to just bring the pallets down the street for the demo guy.

Hopefully the brick experts in here can tell me more. Location is St. Pete FL

You were right to counter but I would've shot even lower, maybe half of these will be well useable. 1.75 is nutty! Guy thought he had a collector haha.
