I seen this one on ebay, smaller but if your not into big stuff.....

Alaskan Saw Mill | eBay

 

 

As your close to the exhaust all the time I would seriously consider using Aspen fuel, if the vibrations dont kill you the fumes of petrol/oil will

good luck

Shouldnt you have gone to see it before putting in the winning bid? If you dont take it you have cost the seller time and money.

Got to agree with that. thats why its called an auction site.

Thats not how it works, if you are the one with your hand in the air when an auction ends you own the goods, it only remains to pay and collect, if you dont pay the seller has recourse to the courts to make you pay and reclaim any extra costs.

 

My last "bad buyer" found that to his cost.

I'm sure the op will take it,& gladly,but you cant blame the guy for wanting to make sure its all good,(as advertised).

Exactly that, i have no intention of messing anyone around, he has a duty to advertise the lot accurately and if he has,i.e. item is in good working order then we dont have a problem. If hes advertised incorrectly then he has cost me time and money. Its too far for me to travel twice. I meerely wanted to check that there wasnt an obvious thing on the mill, which may only show up in use and not by an amateur inspection, that would deem it useless. The legalities of an auction work both ways and i certainly have no intention of breaking my contract,providing he hasnt already broken his. Im going to collect next sunday, so ill post some pics of it in use when i get round to it.

It works same way at normal auction house too, i bought a core cutter and drill set from an auction house a few months ago, advertised as full working order, when i got it home i plugged it in and nothing. On inspection it had no brushes and clutch was clearly broken. Returned to auction house, got full refund of £90, made them an offer of £25 and walked away with it. bought clutch part needed, made some brushes, everybody happy. Contracts are always 2 way, and i definately am not a bad buyer.
