I probably have room for it in my garage (tight fit though), where it would sit for several years until I could afford my own place (which very well may be a warehouse with a bed in one corner :-) ). I see two problems with this monster: 0. Some of those cabinets are *wide*. It seems like it may be too big to be handled with a lift-gate-enabled Ryder rental truck. 1. I think he's looking for lots of money here. I'm not a poor college student any more, but I'm not rolling in dough, either. The reward-expense ratio for this may just be too low for me to act. There are other (almost equally) cool machines that are smaller and could be obtained for less money, if my suspicions are right about this seller's reserve price. However, this is in my own town, and I'd hate to see it go to the scrapper. Argh. Does anyone have any comments, especially WRT the transportability of this machine? -- Jeffrey Sharp
