Here’s a good laugher... a 80! ton log splitter.... that I calculated is really a 24 ton splitter. Forget about splitting wood any longer.... you can crush truck rims with this machine and burn them now! ;lol And with its 3.9 gpm pump she must be oh sooo slow... you all had better snap it up quick because he says if it ain’t sold in 7 days he will pull the listing and keep it!!....even though the ad has been up for a month now lol. :rolleyes:

I'm always mystified by ads like that (there are so many!), but maybe it's just an exercise in fantasy. Years ago a friend confessed to habitually bidding early and low on expensive things on eBay, knowing that she wouldn't be the high bidder. It was just a way of pretending to be able to afford whatever it was.
Well.... I know someone that did just that on a Prius on eBay and ended up the high bidder. He said he had no intentions of really buying it but he did and he paid good money to have it shipped from California to Dallas Texas. What messed him was it was a salvage titled car and no one bid it up where he thought they would. That was when eBay held you to the sale more than nowadays. He had the car for a few years but has since sold it.
 
LOL... the description made me laugh! Nice find Rob711, thank you
 
Just what every wood burner needs to clean up their processing area.
 
Whew. So, you leave stove and pipe in the weather for a year, then install it? Or maybe that room doesn't have a roof. If you want a controlled (hopefully) overfire, these boxwoods are $250 new.
