Too bad you ordered already, Costco in ywg has 2 treadmills(reebok and free motion) with 3chp motors 899.00. Most Costco stores carry similar items and has the best return policy of anywhere I've ever shopped. I just bought the treadmill a month ago and it's great, use it 4-5 times a week and so does the rest of the family.

need to keep the love handles in check
So Monica Lewinsky is sitting in front of her mirror, getting dressed. She's still a little upset about how her relationship with Bill ended, and so is looking at her body quite critically. Poof! A genie appears, and offers her one wish. "Well," says Monica, "I'd really like to lose my love handles.."
Her ears promptly disappear.

Bought an brand new,
never plugged in Miller MIG welder from a widow of a guy who tried to install a 50A 240V outlet for said welder without turning off the power... he didn't want to work in the dark in his barn.
After the smoke settled, she listed it for less than half price. I felt bad and didn't even haggle.
Welds GREAT, Miller sure knows how to make'em!
There are some amazing bargains out there if you take the time to look.
