DARN! Just missed it. I literally just posted about making a homemade saw and then I saw this. Sold...Oh well.

Could that happen? It does mention there's an issue with the pump and would need replaced...this one sold, but he has another listed - looks identical. Makes me wonder.

rocknewb101 it looks like it's just relisted because it didn't sell. Pick up only items can take awhile to sell.

Looks like they are also selling some slabs and other items rock related.

Replacing a pump is not a deal breaker...I'm about 3 hrs north of this location so picking up would work too.

Did you bid? I see there's one on it now. I think that the $650 BIN was too high, but if you're happy with the road trip and can drop a last second snipe bid at $550 it is something you could enjoy for as long as you want, then get your money back selling it if you get something you like better later.
