re: How can anybody pass this one up?

I know what you’re saying bill, but sometimes it’s worth a laugh. I search craigslist pretty often and while I’ve seen a lot of stinkers, I’ve managed to find some pretty good deals. My best find ever was 1985 Troy-Bilt Horse II tiller in “very good” condition for $350. It was (and still is) in better than very good condition. It even has the original decals still on it. I also managed to find my planer and jointer on CL. Picked up both for $375. Of course, I see some real “deals” too, like the one you posted. It does crack me up to see some of the things people will try to sell.
