Chuckles...yea, _can_ be but the typical HF isn't so much.
As for eBay and heavy equipment I bought JLG 40H 40-ft boom manlift via eBay almost 20 yr ago now. At the time the lift was in Chicago, the broker in Florida and I in SW KS. Still using it; right now daily as we're finishing up the house remodel and for second story work it's been priceless. One of the biggest $5K bargains I've ever had. First got it when started refoofing the 40-ft eave height barn.
It weighs something over 12,000 lb...and looks like this one
Not sure why people are even talking about ordering heavy equipment from eB ay. Personally, I have never bought anything heavy from eBay. But I have bought a few other heavy and or big items mail order. eBay is mail order. Push lawn mower and 60" TV. Both pretty big and heavy. The only thing th at matters with mail order is cost and maybe how you can receive the item. For instance: The deliverer wants to charge you $1000 to deliver. Or the deliverer brings the 2 ton machine on a flatbed truck and you have no dock or forklift to get the item to the ground.
Well, one does have to have the facilities to handle what you order, yes. That goes w/o saying, but it's no different if you order something heavy from any place online that doesn't have local brick and mortar facilities.
The 12K manlift was delivered from Chicago as part of the deal for a "not to exceed" $800 charge and I arranged with the local rental equipment yard for them to offload there and then I roaded it home. (That was a bad idea, I didn't realize how slow the highest travel speed for one of those bad boys was and it took me almost six hours to cover the four miles. Do it again and I'd pay them their trailer fee or talk the JD dealer to do so. But, the actual shipping because the broker arrange partial load pricing ended up at only $600.
I could have offloaded here except the heavy ramp was occupied by the combine at the time and harvest-related operations far exceeded this in importance so it wasn't convenient to have it out of the way when needed.
But, you'll pay for transportation however you go, some of it may be hidden with some vendors but even the new car at the dealearship in town will have a transportation surcharge--just how much they'll "eat" is dependent upon how hungry they are at the time.
The local JD dealership sells used equipment trade ins on internet all over the US and even to Mexico and Canada. He has three full-time drivers delivering stuff. It's still cost-effective to the purchaser because large, low-hour used equipment is still markedly cheaper than new and such is not nearly as common in those areas.
That very much depends on where you are and what you're buying.
I've ordered things where I knew the combined package weight was greater than I wanted to handle, but I can open boxes on the porch and bring things in as I can carry them. For things well over 100lbs, I'll have a cart out and take it to the UPS truck. The driver won't complain ;-)
Even bigger things? You need to know what delivery options you have before you buy.
Because the local area is semi-solar-friendly, people buy houses with solar power on the roof and then want it off. Great deals on
2-year-old solar panels and sometimes on batteries. I have a pickup so I can move solar panels and batteries easily. Most of my "Wait until daylight" solar-charged backup power system (solar generator) was acquired used, much of it at less than $0.50 on the dollar of new cost.
Check all the options and then put together what works for you. I'm typing on a 12 year old Dell laptop because I like the keyboard and display (it's what I write books on) and replacement laptops are $100 or less - I've been cloning the hard drive (now an SSD) when I need to move to a bigger drive. First "End of civilization as we know it" novel is here:
Agree. My 60 inch TV is ONLY about 100 pounds. Light, I guess. But its k ind of hard to pick up and move. About 5 feet wide and 4 feet high. With a 2 foot by 2 foot base on it. Hard to just pick it up and move it. If I wanted to do that. I know when I bought it I had a friend come over and he lp me carry it in from the garage and help set it up and move it to its fin al spot. Lot heavier and awkward than I can move.
That's heavy. A 65" OLED LG (which is at the moment as good as it gets in a 65" TV) weighs 55.
Yeah, the problem with TVs is that they're an awkward size and shape. When I got my last one the guy at Best Buy carried it out to the car by himself standing on end. But I made sure to get some help unpacking it and setting it up/
It has served the purpose a number of times, yes, and certainly beats most alternatives altho the bulk makes a little difficult at times to get where one needs to be. The absolutely key thing to remember with these is unlike electrical service boom trucks, the platform on these is _NOT_ insulated so must _NOT_ even think about trying to get close to live lines...
A commercial trimmer dude got his bucket truck into line earlier this summer and was electrocuted in Wichita. I'm sure there are quite a number every year...
