Looks like someone is going to get a hell of a deal.

Sell your stuff and you will have money.

If I had a warehouse and a forklift, and more time, I could make some serious dough. Today auction could easily have worked out to $10k profit, for instance

....you dont have a forklift?????

Why the hell not?

They are as cheap as dirt.

Often dirt (as in good clean topsoil) is a more expensive.

I expect you could rent a warehouse and a forklift pretty reasonably if you had some ambition.

Indeed.

Ive passed up at least 4 forklifts in the last 30 days. None more than $1800. Most less than 10 yrs old.

Like this one...

Wow, cheap!

What's a "solid pneumatic" tire, Gunner? Maybe an air-filled tire which froze in IL?

Here's the one I'd like, were I a banker like Ig.

Older forklifts that arent going to be driven 8 hours a day are perfectly fine for what Iggy needs, and Ive seen em as low as $400 recently here in California. Im aware of one that was simply given away for providing lunch to the crew cleaning out the factory. A late 90s Toyota 8000 pounder. Then the poor bastard had to have it moved...ROFLMAO

Ive got a mid 1980s Linde/Baker 3000 pounder (1500 hrs)..actually has a volkswagon engine in it (german forklift) and 18" tires. I took a router and recut some tread on them..badly worn so it works fine for me. Ive got no concrete at my place..its all dirt. It originally came from the City of Los Angeles..and based on the rust on only one side..likely came from someplace near the ocean. Needs the carby rebuilt..hard to start..but once it warms up..runs quite well.

Actually they are a large diameter solid tire with a very soft core material. If you are off road..in the dirt..driveway etc etc..they are what you need as the thin profile tires are only good on concrete. If it sinks an inch..you are stuck. And moving a stuck 7000-15000 lb forklift..isnt easy. My Baker/Linde has had a Simplex jack and 2x6s under it more than once. And when it rains...it stays parked. Lots of clay in my town.....

Try to move something around inside the shop with it. Those are nice if you are doing outside construction..but they dont carry as much as you would think and they cannot be used to move stuff around the average homestead. And it weighs 21,000 pounds...10 tons. Damned hard to put that puppy on a trailer and haul it around..unless you have an 18 wheeler in the back yard as well as a flat bed.

What - no Hyster ?

When a kid over seas - we had Hysters that could lean wheels over to move around on narrow docks and pick up shipper containers like nothing.

They were cool in working and looks.

Mart> >

The offer is WITHDRAWN.

This is now a second time when a craigslist buyer talks to me, then finds my rec.crafts.metalworking ads on some asshole web spamming website, like rittercnc or groupsrv.com, and then says "but you are offering it for less somewhere else".

Well, yeah, but not to you, buddy.

So, no more offers here.

Iggy...Im not at all shy about offering things for less to friends and accomplishes then I am to outsiders.

And if anyone asks..thats what I tell them. While it is for sale less to friends and accomplishes..you are neither so the price is $x

If they dont want to buy it at that price..or a price Im willing to bargain down to..they dont have to buy it.

And Im always clear on this if the subject comes up.

Doesnt seem to prevent any sales.

That's what I told him too, and he bailed out. He seemed to be ready to buy prior to finding my ad. They he came back to me and said "but you want less for it, see here". I said, but not to you. And he bailed. I am not losing my sleep over it, but as it goes, it does seem detrimental to advertise "friends only" price that is findable by google.

Hey Iggy,

You have the real eMail addresses for lots of RCM'ers yes? Why not send yourself notice of the deal and bcc: the rest of us?

I think that it is spammy.

It may take a couple days longer to sell the way you have been doing it (and many thanks!)..but it all sells.

And you havent even picked it up yet, have you?
