Should I go buy these!?!?

[Bigwhite11]

I've been looking for compressors and came across these. They're about 50 miles from my house. Is this a smoking deal?

If you 3 phase thats a hell of deal. Personal I have no idea how much a convertor is, you could always put a single phase motor for that price.

That's what I was thinking too. Buy all 3, keep one to use, take the compressor off of one and sell the tank (keep compressor for parts) and sell the 3rd one to fund the motor.

Doesn't anyone on CL know how to take a good picture and post it??

Cell phone pics is my guess, I don't understand why people think cell phone pics are OK......don't you want the thing to look the best you can? I always wonder if they're trying to hide something.

Better than those ad's that have no pics at all, or promise they'll be putting pics up later, or offer to send them to you - stupid way to market something IMHO.

At a buck fifty ea, I would load all of them in my truck, then set up the

best of the bunch (or exchange the best parts from them and build myself

one good one) for myself. You will need a converter to run 3ph motors on

the 220 you have at home, but the price is gonna be well worth the effort.

After you are all hooked up, place an ad on CL. You may get your system

for almost free.

This is going to be a pain in the a$$. I have my parents calling the guy about them now (I'm in Afghanistan) I HATE finding deals like this while I'm here!!!!!

Bad pix mean fewer bidders/buyers!
