I need a pressure pot sand blaster to rehab some patio furniture. HF sells three different models, none of them get great reviews, but at least the large one comes with a better nozzle which eliminates many of the complaints about the smaller units. Found the one I want on CL for $50, they sell for $130 new.

Not trusting the picture alone, I email the guy to confirm it's the 110 lb model. He replies it is. I let him know I'm on my way and I'll be there in 45 minutes. He replies "great".
Get to his house and he's not there. The wife doesn't know anything about it so she calls his cell and says he's on his way. Twenty minutes later he shows up and pulls out the blaster. I notice right away it looks too small and the better nozzle isn't there. Look at the label and in big letters it says 40 lbs. I tell him it's the wrong one and he starts to argue that it is. I point to the label and the model number and tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about. Got back in the car and drove 45 minutes home.
CL needs some sort of basic IQ test before posting to eliminate the *********.
