Serious Question: Need Info on Car Tilter

I figured I needed something to catch folks' attention.

I am looking at buying a car tilter. They cost $750.00 new and around $50+ for shipping.

I find these used on a lot of different forums, but they sell incredibly fast or I am just too slow on the draw.

Does anyone have any experience with these? This contraption is not a car rotissierie. There is a USA firm which sells them out of TN.

Ideally, I would like to buy a used one, use it once, then re-sell. They seem to sell really fast in the $350-$450 range, which leads me to believe they hold some value. Or, if I buy one, then I am stuck selling it which seems OK, but that one time use will cost me $400 or so.

I want to avoid lying on my back as much as possible. Getting up and down has turned into a PITA lately. I have access to a car lift, but if someone wanted to sodablast or the other flavors of blasting and completely refurbish the underside of a car without the PITA aspect involved, looks like a car tilter is the way to go.

Plus, buying the tool, sub-contracting with a welder who really knows his/her welding, then subcontracting with the soda or other blaster, then finishing yourself with this tool is A LOT cheaper and FASTER than hiring a restoration shop.

Any one out there with any info ???????
