winch
 

... and the opening price is $7000.00!

Back in 08, that may well have sold quickly at that price. It will be interesting to see if it sells these days.

I note it does not have the floor lockout plate and boot.

I thought it was a bit steep, but I know nothing about these !

Before the US housing crisis, a complete kit reached about $8000 US on ebay. There were obviously guys with more money than time, so that was their prerogative.

I think I saw a kit sold on the G503 about 6 months back for somewhere around the $4500 US mark. Using today's conversion rate, that $7000 Canadian price tag works out to about $5800 US. It would be interesting to see the final price of this one once it sells.

A couple recent sales, although on both there may be some suspect as to the correctness of the actual winch: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Complete-Ram...p2047675.l2557

Price drop
 

Now at $6000

10 years ago I paid $850 for mine. it still had the add oil tag on it. It came with all the shafts and bell hanger bearing. After a wait a couple of PTO's popped up on the G503 and I bought one for $550. I guess I got a good deal but it made me choke back then but i figured Id just suck it up and get what I needed as they do not come up for sale too often. :)
