I'm the one who bought those two 30 CSTs from AndrewA last week and wanted to give ya'll a head's up.
The 30CSTs are in really good shape and AndrewA packed them well and shipped'em quick.
In fact, the winches I bought from him are in much better condition in person than they appeared to be in the pictures he posted.
Too bad this 14 is not a little bigger, or it'd be mine.
If he says that this
winch is in good very good condition, I'll bet it's probably in very good condition.
One last thing, he didn't go with the the first shipper he found, he sought out the lowest ship
price, so he's not going to stiff you with an unnecessarily high ship bill; he'll do his best to get this to you for a reasonable
price.
