[Shop-talk] off-topic a LITTLE, its for the shop

[Mike Rambour]

  I am looking at buying some equipment for my garage and according to 
the website its 320lbs, 60"x20"30, the guy that has it is in NH (03748) 
and I am in S. Calif. (93105), he says the last person who looked at 
buying in S. Calif. was quoted $150 for shipping and backed out because 
of shipping costs. I am willing to pay that shipping cost for this unit 
but everywhere I go on the web starts at $525 and goes up to $650.   I 
know it can be cheaper if I go terminal to terminal and he is willing to 
take it to one local to him, my closest would be in Oxnard about 1 hour 
away.   How do I get this thing shipped CHEAP, I did try the standard 
ones like UPS but they wont do that weight and looking on the web just 
seems to get the expensive ones.
