he is in the tulsa OK area, about 597 miles one way from owensboro, 1200 miles round trip, mine was about 1100 roundtrip but it was broken into a couple days, bman only paid $200 to ship his smaller unit, I was quoted $500-550 shipping on a 24 x 48 but didn't dig around to hard for a good deal as I knew I could go get it for less than $250 in gas, if someone would bring it to your for $300 is it worth two days time to save $50 or $100? I wanted to meet Craig, had a buddy in springfield Mo so I was dying for an excuse to road trip and pick one up. The fact your paying about 1/2 to 1/3 for going price for the pit means shipping and pickup costs still allow you to spend half what it would have cost for a similar big name unit, unless you have a pit dealer in town your gonna pay shipping on any pit. I figure I saved $1200 here, thats pretty much a whole nother pit I am entitled to in the future ain't it?
