: i went to ebay and typed in gas pump and found a few full size [not toys] on it and was wondering if any one has bought a pump this way thanks.. brenda.r.

Hi Brenda, I have bought several this way - but be prepaired to travel. Most seller don't want to creat them, and if they do they will charge you and then you have the trucker to deal with. All this adds to the cost, doubling cost at lease - that is if you bid for
around 150 to 250, and how far you are shipping it. I have bought some that I drove 4 hr to get it and turned around and drove 4 hrs back (9 hr toals) (1 hr talking and loading) Also remember these thing weight 200 and 400 lbs. After you have completed this phase , you have to restore it (depending on condition) 30 - 80 hours and purchase missing parts etc. But when all is said and done and it is completed - there is nothing like one and that feeling of accomplishment. They are a "labor of love"
