Anyone ever moved a pole barn?

Randomly saw a 30x50 existing pole barn for sale on FB. Been looking at getting one so curious if this would be worth considering as it’s in pretty good shape. Probably $50k to get a new one with pad.
If I buy the existing one…
Cost to buy - $10k
Cost to move - $10k??? (Would hire someone for sure)
Cost to add concrete pad - $10k
All in $30k? Is this a terrible idea?

You will need to buy new poles unless you pan to make the new building shorter than the current building.

Someone’s been watching R&R builders.
Not a bad idea. Current barn over gravel/dirt?

Wouldn't you have to saw the poles off at the ground since they are cemented in? Or disassemble and reassemble it with new poles?

No way would I do that just buy a steel building.

That would be well more than double his price for moving, right?

Probably on the low side for your concrete cost. Just poured a 40x60 4" that was 23K.
I would call and get quotes for the demo and erection from a few places first. May find most quote you a "may as well build a new one" price because they don't want to deal with tear down and assembly.

You are only saving on the material unless you are doing the labor yourself.
You have Labor to disassemble, transport and install
vs labor to install.
Does your material savings cover the dissasembly and transport costs?
your site prep and pad are the same either way.

9.50/sf is really high, were there logistical difficulties to make it that expensive?

That's not crazy for a turnkey price material and labor. Material prices of all kinds are through the roof.
