I would go broke if I lived in Denver. They have a lot of machine dirt cheap but pick up only. You can have the near by UPS Store pickup and package and ship for you. Its $25 to pick up, minimum of $17.50 to package and then whatever the shipping is.

Isn't that how it always works? I know they have a good relationship w/ the local UPS store if you really want it. Probably add at least $50 to the winning bid for them to p/u and ship it though.

Too late....auction's over. It did sell for $9.99, but I didn't really want to pay the $57 for shipping that was estimated. Probably was worth it, but...

I like local better. I got mine on CL for $40, it had all the original attachments plus a few more, the knee bar, an oil can and was in really good shape. I have bought from Good Will and eBay, but I like being able to see what I'm getting in person and not having to worry about what might happen during shipping.

yeah, I prefer local too really - for the same reasons. But that kind of deal just doesn't find it's way into this area much. Or...maybe I'm just not lookin hard enough....

I get those deals and then have to make the machine work. Some times it isn't worth it at all - time should have some value, too.

I wish all Goodwills priced like that.

Our local ones have gone crazy on their pricing.

Can barely afford to go in there now.
