For you guys wanting to ship look up yarding block 1250 and it might be cheaper for you to buy and if you put that in the expo search it will bring up some stuff about the block.
About the price, you might be right. But for a pick up, I think it still look like a good deal, and I made the search and pretty much went trough all the side topics and it is still a goog choice, but for the weight. Btw, I already own one, but or the warn type, and really like it, but a little bit more work to used than a regular snatch block and like I mentionned, a little heavier.
