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.

For me, Craigslist is better locally, and a local AM radio program every day
except Sunday (It's Mormon country here) called Tradio. Call in and sell
darn near anything. No businesses or commercial calls. Or ask to buy darn
near anything. Was riding in the car with a visitor from southern Cal when
the program came on. Said what a hoot it was. A guy comes on who wants
apples, spoiled or not. He's fed all his apples to his pigs, and needs
more. Will clean up fallen apples. Will pick trees clean. My friend was
very amused. I have called things in, and had a return phone call within
five seconds.
