   It went for $8600, but really think the dealer bought it back? 

   Really considered bidding up to 10K, but DW said

   "you aint bringin' that big piece of junk here to sit in the yard for 4 years tilll you get around to doing something with it, and whatt'am eye going to do with it if you die"  ... or something to that effect.

   The dealer for the big bucket truck is in Seattle, I'm a little south in Renton.

   PS: bil <g> Ya, but those virtual sisters do put up with some, huh?  DW was THRILLED when scrap metal prices were over $200/ton, got rid of a few old cars in 07 and first 1/2 of 08.

   I was thinking it would be perfect for hanging Christmas lights.

   instead of putting them underground>G<

   Ended up direct burying some old 12-2 w/14g ground wire instead of extention cords......didn't know ah still had a roll of that (1970 code change??, not sure of the date) till I went looking thru junk piles for more old cords.....
