Anyone in Philly, PA interested in buying Passap Duomatic 80?
I'm prepping to post for sale on eBay, but would be easier to not have to ship it. If there is any interest I'll post pictures, equipment list, etc. For additional $, I could deliver within ~2-3 hour drive from Philadelphia.
Adding pictures and details!
