Has anyone seen this yet?!?

(I did a search for 'Power Loader' and I didn't see it mentioned anywhere.)

Nitpick: if I were selling something for $2,000 I'd damn well make sure my photos were in focus!

However, it does look pretty awesome, and including the shipping in the total cost is a classy touch.

Wasn't there a member here with a lifesized Queen in his apartment? He needs this!

Did this change? Because it seems to be $1600 + $400 for shipping now (exactly the same as $2000 alone of course).


I have to say that if I had the money and space, I'd buy it!

Thanks for the link Dave!

$2000?!? That's totally reasonable...

Consider a few hundred dollars in materials, easy... And all the labor involved? Damn I think I need this!

Kevin: I meant that by including the shipping in the total price quoted he was giving a much more realistic picture of how much the buyer would be paying. If he had listed it at $1,600 then when you scroll down and see it will cost another $400 to ship it there's an ugly dose of reality. He had me at $2,000; I'd pay $2,000, and then to learn that that includes shipping is a bonus! That's all I meant.

To Aaron's point, I think this is certainly worth this price in labor alone. I really hope it finds a home!

I don't mean to belabour this, but the scenario you describe above is exactly how it looks on my end when I click on the link- it is listed for $1600 and you scroll down to shipping where it says that shipping is another $400. Nowhere in the listing does it say $2000.

Please don't interpret this as niggling a point- I'm genuinely trying to say that if it is listed as $2000 with free shipping I don't see it.




PS- totally agree that it is worth $2000.

It came up just now as $2,000 with a note saying that included shipping. I hit refresh and it changed to $1,600 and his "ship with another item" cost jumped from $100 to $300.

I swear I'm not making this up! I just wish I'd taken a screen grab.

But we all agree that A) it amounts to the same thing, and B) it's totally worth it. Sadly C) none of us has a spare two grand to spend on it...

No worries I believe you Bro.

It must have originally been 2 grand and stuck in your temp cache as that for a bit (or... something... I'm just a caveman ). This is why I had asked if it had changed. Probably as Cosmo said that Esty made him change it.

Hell, wish I had the cash.

But then again, if I had all the cash I needed, I'd right now be the proud owner of the prop Raptor from Battlestar Galactica!
