Am I not reading this ad correctly? A 10" square Diebold selling for $999 that states it is located in Michigan but you have to pick it up in Florida, plus it has been cored twice. Is this how you see it?

LOL - that is a great listing. Combines a brain teaser with geography.

Many snowbirds in Michigan. They move from one peninsula to another. The seller's address is probably in Michigan but they are trying to dump stuff before they leave Florida for the year.

Ann Arbor is the home of U of M. It's the most expensive and economically segregated place in the state where many residents have a skewed perspective about money.

Still doesn't make sense. Ad states item is in Michigan, but
item must be picked up in Florida. So, present owner is going to transport safe to Florida and then have winning bidder go to Florida to get it??
