The place I work offers these for rent to employees, very low rates. They are rentals, treated like rentals amd sold As-Is.

They are auctioning off two of them, both are Rockwell Freedom model, I don't know if more than one size is available, I'll walk down and look.

Last time they did this, they went for ~$300.

I have no interest, but if you guys do, I'll buy it and flip it.

Edit: Model 1640.

Yes, only because I have no need for one. Not very rough, they're just put away wet. I think a weekend with soap and water, some airing out, some WD-40 and it will be fine. I believe these are 2008 models.

I think SWMBO is interested, but a few concerns:

1) driving to/from NY to get it 2) can her Element tow it? (I think so, not the MR2 but probably this thing) 3) storage

Mostly #1 I think.

At that price I will buy both from you if they are in decent enough shape. I am sort of local as well.

"put away wet" likely means you have mold in the canvas. I don't; think soap and water will take that away.

I got a call from 914driver, he's out of town and has limited cell coverage. He didn't get either, one went for $1000 and the other for $1050.

"put away wet" is a colloquialism that doesn't necessarily involve water.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad they went for way more than my bid, not just a little bit more.
