Title: Anyone going to Ohio in the near future?
Post by: Dennis on November 10, 2011, 01:58:43 PM

I didn't think so.  Here's a basket case I love to bid on ...  even if it were in Vancouver or Edmonton.  Ohio is just too far away.

Yes, I have a brother in law going to Ohio for Christmas, unfortunately he lives in Halifax.
However the ad says Minnesota at the end??????

Dennis maybe you can get Steve's brother in law to pick it up then at least it would be in Canada.  Shipping it as is would not be that expensive I would think.  Why not give it a try.

  You know of course if he says it's all there 30% is missing. At least. Then there are the wear items-battery, cables, lights numerous missing mounting hardware, bad chrome, rusty seat pan etc. You could probably restore it for twice as much as it's worth. Not including your time. Or you could make a cool coffee table out of it. Maybe art deco lawn art?

General agreement with Fast1 on my part; I think my brother has a friend in Long Beach with a toaster-tank /5 he hasn't used for years.  They were asking me what they should do with it, but I haven't heard anything about it since then, about six weeks ago.  They aren't impossible to find - though not getting any easier, either.  I think my brother's friend was making a list of what he'd have to do to get $3500 for his.
