I promised to tell you what she paid for it ,so first Im going to tell you what they normally sell for ($2850) . My wife walked up when we first saw it and asked how much and was told $1500 .We decided to go from the main house to the guest house and see what was for sale there and she told me she was going to buy it for me.I told her I hoped someone else bought it before we got back up there but as we walked back up the lady was marking the price down to $1000 and she told her she would take it. So I think she got a bargain and I love it.It is too nice to go in my shop so we put it in our computer room so I can see it constantly while Im online. My wife is the greatest ,she puts up with me and buys me cool gifts. PS: the only kids we have besides me are our old cars .

What brand pump is that? Possibly Gilbarco? I haven't seen one before with such a large calculating face. There is a pretty strong market for pumps if they are the real deal, so strong that many reproductions are out there ... still valuable but not as much as the originals.

It will be a few years before the kids move out, and I am sure if we had any room, for anything, you would find something to fill it with.

I can't believe the extra space and money we have since Lindsay moved out.
