I seem to be able to get into the weirdest situations…. Maybe I should stay away from ebay? lol
I recently bid on and won a two ton chain hoist and frame on ebay.
So these were the pictures showing it on ebay 🙂 It looks big but not quite as massive as it turned out to be in person.
So I won this thing for $102.00. I didn’t think I would win it as just the hoist and car on the I beam is worth many hundreds of dollars. Buzz the guy that I communicated with at the company that was selling this told me I could pick it up or if i wanted they would disasemble the frame and ship it. Shipping came to about $350.00.. OUCH!!!! ok … we’re not shipping! I figured gas from conway to atlanta round trip would run about $110.00 in my GMC astro van (gas actually ended up around $130.00) and that I could just strap the frame work to the racks on the roof. Then I remembered a past adventure were we strapped a 8ftx8ft 400 lb hot tub on the top of my van and drove back from charlotte with it (maybe I’ll tell that story another day :)….anyway maybe on the roof isn’t such a good idea….. So I borrow my friend Steve’s trailer that he hauls a golf cart around with. It is exactly 8 ft long inside the bed (this is important 🙂 remember it.)
