2 ton shop crane =o

just wondering how much people would pay for a 2 ton shop crane like this.



i found one on sale for $175 canadian =D
i really don't need one, but I'm thinking I could buy it an sell it for more :>

$175 canadian is only $133 american, so its a pretty amazing deal, even if i don't want it i might just buy it n hold on to it. dont these things normally go for like $500?

I've seen them at Costco and Princess Auto for around that price, probably came off the same boat from China.

Notice the legs don't fold up at all. Most people want that so it takes up a lot less space when not in use.

For the amount I'd use one personally I'd just unbolt the legs.

Thats what me and thegeneral do. We jsut take it apart when we are done using it. Only takes 10 minutes to put it all back together. Yay for an impact.

I work at northern tool and equipment, one of the above replys said "probably came off the same boat" he is right we get these things in by the container loads.
