    I messaged the guy because I was sorta interested. Seems its been sold. It was hard to communicate with the seller, not sure if English was his first language. He said it was a good machine and that's about all I could understand from him.
    I have no idea if it was in good condition or not, or if I did buy it, how I was going to move 1.5 t.

    Ben.

    From what you can see from the pretty ordinary photos, both machines look pretty. I just wonder if it has been a spray can rebuild or if the mechanicals are as good as the cosmetics look.

    I got a similarly cryptic response on the status of the C10 in the original post.

    My best interpretation is that it's likely to be sold tomorrow.

    Yes that is true, and ebay is the worst web site to sell machinery by individuals as potential buyers can not inspect the machine before biding. Ebay will not allow sending contact info until you have purchase the item, been there than that.
