LOL. Got your interest? I thought about buying it too. Sealy is only half an hour or so away. I just shipped that HR214 deck and a lot of other parts inside the box with it for $75. Dimensional weight based on the size of the box. Unless you can convince him to disassemble it you'd pay a a fair bit more than $75. Unless he's a really nice guy he isn't likely to want to do that. Disassembling a mower, finding/making a box, packing it well, and then shipping it is a PITA. I'd have to make a lot more than I made on that deck to ever do it again. By the time ebay and paypal were done with their fees (a fee on shipping cost???) I was basically doing the buyer a favor more than doing a profitable business transaction.
BTW you don't see a lot of "deals" here in the Houston area on CL. Florida on the other hand... I'd like to take a UHaul truck over there and buy some equipment to bring back and resell.
