Post by: adolescent on October 24, 2008, 03:52:39 PM: He's been trying to sell it for some time. I think if he took the time to organize things it would sell, but for now it's a risk.

Sadly, no. This lot is 2,600++ miles away from me. If it was local I'd consider it. I hope someone else ponies up so it doesn't get tossed.

Post by: Atariflops on October 24, 2008, 07:56:56 PM: Pick up only eh? :-o I can't get this because...
1: I live thousands of miles away.
2: I don't have a license for an artic truck
3: I don't have an artic truck... :-D

Post by: Plaz on October 24, 2008, 08:27:04 PM: Based on those pictures and descriptions, I'd have to guess the majority of that lot is non-functional.

"The following items are in various stages of repair and have been taken apart"

Still not a bad deal at roughtly $10 and item working or not.... if you need/want that much equipment.
Throw in the shed and it's a great deal. :-)

Post by: gklinger on October 25, 2008, 04:47:36 AM: They've been trying to sell that load of overpriced rubbish for months now (with no decrease in the opening bid I might add). Anyone that buys that would be better off putting the money towards psychiatric treatment.

Wish I had money and a place to store this stuff! E-bay is gonna be flooded!

Post by: justthatgood on October 25, 2008, 11:41:14 AM: They want a cash transaction that large in this crappy economy??????

Most people that would be remotely interested can't even afford to eat everyday, let alone throw down that cash.

I don't trust cash deals with some people over cetain amounts. They want no paper trail ? What are they hiding?
