Just in case if this is not apparent, this crane is HUGE and weighs
about 1,300 lbs. I was photographing it from eye level. The little
Harbor Freight crane is just a skinny boy in comparison to this
crane. Its capacity is 4,000 to 6,000 lbs depending on the boom
position.

Now tellus you paid $40 for it and the guy tossed in a couple tons of
misc. with the deal. Just to really **** us off.


Not really, but I am sure that I can sell it on ebay for many times
what I paid. Say, this crane is almost the same, but lacks the prized
electric hydraulic pump:


Do you have success selling heavy expensive to ship items on eBay? We
don't, not at all.


Plenty of success, I usually do not ship such things at all, the
customer comes with money and I load. I recently sold the huge 1 ton
jib crane that I mentioned, I delivered it for free 18 miles from my
home. Since I could not get the crane out of my trailer, anyway, "free
delivery" was not such a big deal to me. I just kept the jib crane in
my trailer until I sold it and "delivered".
