FS: Custom five gallon bucket $450 shipped

PRICE DROP - FS: Custom five gallon bucket $375 shipped

Up for sale is a custom height five gallon bucket. It started out life as a run-of the-mill Encore Plastics Corp. 5 gallon bucket made out of HDPE. I have since transformed it into the wicked creation you see below with stainless steel screws and the rim from a donor "parts bucket". Inside of this wicked creation is a 4.30 elocker diff, working actuator and wiring harness pigtail surrounded in expanding foam. I have decided it is time to part with the HDPE beast and let someone else enjoy it. I am asking $375 shipped to your door.

BONUS - This deal keeps getting better! If you order within the next 90 days I will send free of charge a matching Encore Plastics Corp. bucket lid securely taped to the bucket. This lid is made out of the same awesome white HDPE material as the bucket.

surrounded in expanding foam.

That's a cool idea. I hope someone buys your foam.

Damn! I gotta have that bucket! But why would you weigh it down with a smelly old locking diff?

Go halfsies? I'll take the diff, you take the bucket, 50/50 split.

I'll even let you keep the foam.

I thought the additional weight would be a good theft deterrent. Most thieves are lazy, hence their inability to work and pay for things with money earned.

I guess we have something in common.....I sent a $70 bottle of Scotch to uncle for x-mas in across the country to CA with the same idea....I used a box though rather than a bucket. Good luck with the sale

Bump

 

[TacoLogic]

Mileage? Condition of bearings and gears?

 

[TacoLogic]

Payment sent. Let me know when you get it shipped out thanks.

 

[xcmtb83]

The bucket and I parted ways yesterday. I sent you a PM with the UPS tracking #.

 

[KidVermicious]

Holy cow, $375 shipped? That was a smoking deal.

 

[xcmtb83]

Yes, it was a good deal. I have a Taco project I need to fund!

Also, how does one go about changing the title of the thread?? I wanted to change the price in my thread title but wasn't sure how. I am assuming someone would have jumped on it even sooner had I been able to edit the title from $450 to $375.

Good one! Best HDPE bucket around!

I'm guessing a yellow or red bucket would have fetched more money.

 

[Brique]

Good deal, but I'm holding out for a blue bucket.

I'm guessing a yellow or red bucket would have fetched more money.

I think you are right. I opted for the base model white though. According to ratemybucket.com the white Encore's resale value doesn't hold a candle to the coveted Homer's All-Purpose Bucket in Home Depot orange.
