Perhaps your math skills are equal to your reading skills. I believe my
offer stated right at the bottom "Prepaid freight anywhere in the lower 48"
I think a 20% savings for 20 minutes of run time is a reasonable deal. If
you don't think so, please don't buy it.
Its not "used" in the traditional sense, not that you asked, anyway. I
didn't use it for any length of time, barely enough to break it in. I'm
guessing less than 30 minutes of total run time including the 20 minutes
with the valve wide open as recommended by the manual.
So I suppose that you view a used car with 50,000 miles on it the same as an
identical used car with 100 miles on it? They should both be worth the same
amount of money?
Not flaming or trolling, just noting that your analysis wasn't very
accurate.

The fact that you show very little tact in an area that was no concern of
yours tells others alot about you. You could have read the ad, decided it
was not for you, and moved on. Rather than do that you chose to make
derogatory comments to me for no apparent reason.
I committed the huge crime of selling something. Ouch! Sorry for stepping on
your toes.
So you would assume all others would be shipping to Alaska? Thereby making
freight an issue?
If you don't trust that my compressor has 20 or 30 minutes run time on it,
then you should not buy it. Move on. Does it mean that you should comment
upon it? Should we all enter personal comments on every post? i.e.. I think
that's a good deal. I think its a bad deal. It would cost too much to ship
it to me. I don't like what you are doing. etc etc etc. I think those kind
of comments would be best left not posted. I don't know why folks have such
a need to interject into posts, primarily for sale posts, when they have
nothing to contribute of value. And the theme is usually some egocentric
commentary that may or may not be pertinent to others reading the original
post.
I don't wish to debate the particulars of the post with you. Obviously that
has very little value to any others in the newsgroup. Perhaps in the future
you'll show a bit more maturity and respect to others before posting your
commentary.
Good luck to you, from the looks of things, you are going to need it.

That's not much of a savings on a used compressor. Basically, I can get it
from Amazon with free shipping for $180 new, or pay you to ship it for $150
+ $20 minimum shipping for a used one.
I (and most I know) don't pay more than half price for used items.
Not flaming or trolling, just letting you know that your price isn't very
tempting.

Besides, that's a 16.66% savings (i.e...30 is 16.66% of 180).

Stationed in VA, home (and shop) in Valdez, Alaska. To the best of my
knowledge, I'm not lower 48!
>Its not "used" in the traditional sense
OK President Clinton, I guess you got me there. It depends on what your
definition of "used" is. To me it meant.....well..... used! Guess I'm too
traditional.

No, I can take the 100 mile car back to where I bought it when there's a
problem. And they'll fix it for free. And, I can verify the car has 100
miles on it, can you verify the PC has 20 minutes on it?
Besides, you probably ran your "oilfree" just long enough to let the tank
develop internal moisture and then let it sit and rust until now. Thereby
reducing it's lifespan. Pretty and "nearly new" on the outside, old on the
inside.
This was meant to flame!

Not to mention, that particular compressor is "oil free" (read:
limited life piston), unlike most tools which age fairly well. You
can also get it with $200 worth of nailers (brad & straight-finish)
for under $300 at the Borg.

Congratulations.
On an aside, you need to ease up a little. We're talking about a
compressor you are selling, not your sister. It's a business
transaction. Don't take it personally.

This isn't Ebay. If you are going to post a "for sale sign" in the
middle of all of the questions about how to do this, or which saw to
buy, or humorous anecdotes about life in the shop, you are going to
get comments.

No one accused you of anything. You overreacted to critiquing.

Yes, that's what we do here. Get used to it, or use the
aforementioned Ebay route.

Likewise.

Good luck. Locally, even the pawn shops aren't this high. Might want
to eBay it and see if anyone bites.
