About a year ago I didn't bid on a forklift that
sold at a local
municipal auction. It sold for $2 because nobody else bid on it either.
It needed new batteries but otherwise was probably fine. I don't have
any sort of flat cement surface to use it on, in addition to other
reasons I didn't bid on it. It'd be useful for the scale of CC museum
operation that operates out of a poured cement floor building (I have a
gravel driveway, and a garage infested with mice)
ANY forklift these days is worth big bucks. You could've bought it and
turned it around for some number WELL over $2 without lifting a finger to
move it.
Anyway, mine was effectively free. Right time/right place kind of thing
with a nice client ;)
