Then add 18% buyers premium and 7.95% sales tax, and that thing starts getting really expensive for what you are getting.

Oh, and don't forget you have to pay to have someone load that thing and haul it to where you are!

Oh wow, I cant believe they finally sold it, ive known about that quadmount for years, it was located at a place called Greasewood Flats which was very popular with motorcycle clubs because of their beer and great burgers, it was also famous for the bar with dollar bills hanging from the ceiling, outside they had a lot of old west covered wagons and other antiques, the quad was setting on a big tree stump right next to some old wagons, glad someone finally got it 8)

yep that was expensive for they had there.
my bid of 3600 did not meet there reserve price.

so i hear the restrictions for importing ww2 armor have been removed.
maybe there will be a flood of quad mounts in to the US soon. i hear Greece has warehouses full of them.
