Well, I briefly CONSIDERED taking a day off work and driving from Portland, OR to Tacoma, WA to buy a Borletti machine through an online Goodwill auction. The evil Tacoma Goodwill not
only gets great machines...and DOES NOT SHIP, it also only allows pickup in the middle of the day (no weekends!) to further
minimize their sales to non-local, employed customers!
I did the math on lost wages, vehicle miles and gas for my guzzler and decided to pass. And lo and behold, I stumbled on a better Borletti machine a few months later, 4 miles from home!
