jljack,
I've lost count of the machines we've bought from GW. (Way too many if reality was consulted.) I agree about the shipping prices. There's a couple right now on GW that I'd jump on but they want like $40. + dollars to ship it. Ridiculous.
Most of ours have come to us in great shape, but a couple haven't. Those that didn't were due to lousy packing on the shippers end.
As for the Pick Up only, they can't make up their minds. We're going to INDY next Monday to pick up one that could well have been shipped. They ship others, but not this one. It will be the second one we've gone to INDY for. But we like the drive, it gets us out of IL for day.
I hope some members here buy them too.
Joe
