Ron Harris Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I just purchased a new pressure washer today on ebay. I have been watching this one for a month. After several auctions with no bids I placed mine today. I have seen it on the net for around $600.00 I picked it up $339.00 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnZ3MC Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Ron, I had a giggle at the '2 hp without the NOS' line. Good humour. General pumps have a very good reputation so your Ebay price looks like a super deal. You did well. -John C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbackus Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Let us know how it works out for you. I've been looking at one of those for a LONG time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check Auto geeks site and they have the same clay on sale for 49.00 for the pound. LOL ! that is exactly what I meant. there are deals to be had but do your homework and price shop, like you did. my wife used to get a lot of stuff for Xmas for out kids from Ebay but when she price shops she has found that people are spending more on Ebay than if they ordered from another on-line vendor. keep us posted how the new unit works out for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Harris Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Up date The Pressure washer was shipped and I received it 5 days later. It was dropped during shipping and cracked one of the porcelain pistons I think. It would build pressure to 100psi but when I pulled the trigger it would drop to 500psi. It has now been 5 days since ups picked up the unit and I have not herd a word from any one. I hate doing business on ebay. Every one has won but me. UPS got paid the company selling the pressure washer got paid but I have nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Simone Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 In the art world we call it e-pray. I know collectors who have lost tens of thousands in art from international as well as U.S. ebay purchases. Then again, my wife sold a Breyer Horse (toy) that she payed $30 and sold on ebay for $2,700. Hope it works out for you. Up date The Pressure washer was shipped and I received it 5 days later.

Ron Harris Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Another update, I received the replacement Pressure washer today. It works great. It will not peal paint or blow holes in the concrete but it dose a nice job rinsing the cars. I have always been a person who turns the power down on their pressure washer. Some guys like to have enough power to blow emblems off. It is compact and uses 1/2 the space of my Honda powered one. I like the fact that I can run it off my customers power and not make a bunch of noise. The old one that was damaged is now lost in the UPS system. UPS has had it since the 20th and called me last week to schedule a pick up for inspection. The ebay seller was kind enough to ship the replacement without confirmation that the old one was picked up. I will post a picture of my setup after I rearrange the van and give the inside a proper cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
