Matt,
I corresponded directly with the owner of the Chicken Wagon twice, and I agree she seems to be a very nice lady. However I disagree with your comment saying she would have been happy about taking 5k. She told me that she was going for high bidder and that's exactly where it's going. It's probably still within the ball park for most, but the transportation is another matter all together. You can figure an easy $1500 or more to put it on a high deck and truck it out to Seattle and that would be from either Fairbanks or Anchorage. A less expensive route might be by barge and lastly out on the ferry. Throw in a one way airline ticket and you've got a fistful of money invested. Now if it was a swivel frame???
