Well, it's damn near free. If the sucker wasn't so heavy I'd get it myself.

Hmmmmmmm................They're selling it as is, but want no money for it.

But since people are offering $$..................................Very strange, indeed.

Way too far for me.

$800 in fuel to go out, pick it up and bring it back to So Cal. Plus the cost of Trailer. Then, does it work all that well? Plus the cost of buying it at auction.

I'll pass. Cheaper to get a newer used one local.
