I think he expected a bidding war to end up @ 5k.  I think he does not 
realize what an auction kill that no shipping is.  There are also two 
nice RL02's that are pickup only in New Jersey I'd probably bid on, but 
no ship.  No interest in what the hands off Freighters and Craters would 
add to the cost.

I recommended them to a previous list member's query, and the quote was 
$8500 for his quote.  I didn't hear if they'd do part of the work only, 
or not, or give a breakdown, but in the RL02 case I suspect I'd have to 
have it all done for a huge price.

Probably the same with the 11/35.

I did get one of three 11/84's that sold recently and it was shipped in 
a box, but the weight may be lower on that system box than the 11/35 is.

I may let him simmer and maybe sell it and make an offer near the end 
if  it just sits there.  The 11/04 is still sitting as well at the price 
they want for it several months on, and it isn't anywhere near as high, 
so these listings do sit around.
