Must have been someone local who won the auction. I think there was only 2 bidders, with me being the first bidder and the loser. I got a freight quote of just over $1,000, that plus auction price I probably would have lost money on the deal.

Shame, I hope whoever won will break it up properly. Keeping what they want and selling the rest. Hopefully they won't cherry pick a few items and send the rest to a landfill :-/

Holly crap Red, who you using for freight. We use UPS Freight and I could have had that shipped anywhere in the US for less than $400. Let me know if you want the link.


I rarely use my UPS account, so I don't get any real discounts. UPS freight is quoting about $1,000, with me guessing class.

Keep in mind, the freight would have to travel over 3,000 miles to get here.
