I want to ship an Enco Bridgeport clone from Wisconsin to northern

should expect?


Any particular reason you can't hold on and find something closer? Not that I can say
when I got the Jones for a BP I didn't drive across 3 states to get it in a terrible
winter storm. I should have waited a bit longer, I saw many for sale just after I brought
mine home that were far closer.

Time is on your side given current conditions. There is a potential depression in the
wings. I'd try backing off and watching a bit longer for a real deal.

I'm selling it, not buying.
