Thanks KC, we bought this one at that big auction in IL last weekend and there was two of them there. The guy who bought the other one paid $1'300.00 ??? He was from the show pickers or something, i can't remember... That was a KILLER auction though!!!

I do love the hustle/bustle of a good auction!
