You just can't make this stuff up.....
have a wagon with wooden running gear (posted pics of it before).....
Just loosely advertised it on a couple of forums here for 400 bucks (half what anything with a metal running gear in sad shape would go for...
Had a guy PM me asking my last word on the price because "it needs a lot of work".....torqued me right away but I asked him what he wanted to pay...
