Reply:This makes day five, and "buy recommendation" number six; and it's still listed for sale!I saw this listing before Go1lum's post, but didn't act.Question - How long does a  "dibs" option hold an item?I found the old welder through Craigshelper. I use that to search multiple cities by keyword. Now don't you guys start using it too!   If you really wanted to get serious about a hunt, you could setup the rss feed option. Back to the welder - I have a chance to have someone sew the deal up today. He couldn't haul it or anything, just pay for it; well unless we could convince him to hook it to his new car, that he's picking up near the welder.Do I have my friend buy it, and Go1lum get's first chance? Or do we let it slip away to nobody?

Reply:Go1lum, Thanks for the pass. But I think I fumbled it!I agreed to take a ride and help my friend pick up his new car, if we could detour to look at the welder. He said okay, but he was worried about towing anything, because his new car is kind'a small.The welder - Looks like the engine will probably need major work; that sort of kills it.Nice looking machine otherwise. Has leads with it. I tried to get an "adjustment for current market conditions", seller wouldn't budge... yet. He may soften up.If we could have taken it with us, I probably would have stretched for it. Tires are rotten, they wouldn't make a very long trip. I didn't bother asking my buddy if I could clamp a trailer hitch to his new car; since I couldn't see any easy way to clamp one to the bumper.And here's my buddies new small car:Looks like they've already been using it, 20 plus miles!Delivery day:It may have cost us the welder deal.  I told him we should park down the block!
