it's a good , sturdy , stable system.. as I have used and seen it myself... would like to have it... but unfortunatly don't have the money to pay for it...
but yeah, if you need the full amount... locally would be best or E-bay it but put a hefty amount for shipping...
maybe put an add in some forums for local pickup....
I came across a member from another forum...who i bought a part from, that was only about 80 miles from me ... so you never know who is around.... if anything he could have met me 1/2 way, but we went with shipping anyways... but in your case... it would have been cheaper to meet 1/2 way and pay up front...
