Well, I happened across a 10ft unimesh dish back before I drug home 3 other dishes. The dish was hit by a mower, damaging a lower rib section badly.Only had a worn out looking 18" SuperJack on it. So I wasn't really interested in it.
The owner thought he had a spare actuator and some other parts in a building. He's been meaning to look since spring for the 'extra' parts.Anyway, I checked back with him last week. He still hasn't had time to search for the spare parts.
MY idea was to buy ONLY a good actuator, sat positioner,etc if he can find any. He says someone else already offered to buy the bent dish for a gazebo.
After talking with him for THREE hours...He finally gives me a price of $25 for it ALL. But here's the catch: I don't need the damaged dish.I don't know what, if any extra parts he has.He now wants me to also take a SECOND dish belonging to his sister...which I have never seen. Heck,it could be fiberglass which I absolutely do NOT want. (I'd have to pay the landfill to take a FG dish) He wants the poles dug up, not cut. AND... it sounded like he wants me to haul off all the junk in his storage building to find the 'extra' parts. It's hard to understand exactly what the old fellow is saying. At one point he mentioned hauling off a broken washer and dryer from his basement. It's starting to sound like a recycling/hauling job that will never get done.lol.
I plan to go back and try to get a better understanding of what he has/wants.This could be a great deal...or a heckuva lot of work for nothing.
Mamma's liable to kill me if I haul up any more dishes.
