Thats very cheap. I paid more than that for steel for mine (which is still laid out on the shed floor waiting to be welded together!)

Sorry, but I'm with him on this.
That is rediculously cheap. Hope you receive it as pictured.

It says free freight as well. I assume that isn't correct as I just did a freight quote to me and it was near enough to $400.

I really hope it comes through! That's incredibly cheap if it does...

Hopeful - but I won't be ordering one at least until yours arrives.

Yeah had that happen before, you'll get your money back not the item.
Better luck next time.

I really hope you got it for that price. It would be the buy of the year.

Good luck

How did you go mate? Hoping it turned out well for you, or at least get your coin back.

Would be awesome if you scored it for that price. Ebay cannot force the seller to sell at that price though.

Cheers!

I am going through an eBay dispute right now. Very happy that I used Paypal as the seller is so full of you know what. Every message I get is flat out lies. Am glad that I got over hating on Paypal: use it for everything now.

I will in about a years time once my coupe comes back from the panel beater...

I was going to build my own. I found a plan online, priced up the materials (rhs, rams, castors, bolts etc) and for only $150.00 more I could buy one. Knowing I would have spent at least 2 days cutting and welding it all together I paid the extra $150. Armed with hindsight I would make my own next time.

I won't says who's it was but I got the 900 kg rotisserie with large wheels, the wheels were a joke (and not funny at that) only one of the four held any air but leaked as soon as you put it under load.

I went to the local agg supplier (yay finally a benifit of living in a country town) and got 4 x 500kg solid castors (another $150), they ended up being 16mm too low which caused problems with the 3rd fixed/support castor. Thank god for 16mm MDF, I just cut some spacers got some longer bolts and fixed that problem.

Some of the other issue I had was getting the locking pin to engage in the locking plate, It seemed that it needed a bit more clearance so after trying 3mm wire and 6mm rod I "acquired" one of my wife's 4mm wire pot plant hangers and wrapped it around the shaft of the rotating stand between the locking plate and the lifting stand and that fixed that problem.

Then need to cut some dog leg plates to mount to the front bumper holes due to the lip on the chassis rail, unfortunately they dropped down too low so I had to invert the rotating stand so that the T swing arm could be pulled up high enough to balance the shell on the rotisserie.

None of them were major problems all easily solved, I just feel had I made my own I may not have encountered them. I have heard of people getting two heavy duty ending stand and modifying them to make a rotisserie, In the end your the one that need to be happy with it.
