I usually use a forklift, but this winter was working in a place with a low ceiling and bought one, $200. Used it for three days then sold it to a rental yard, told him I paid $250 so he gave me $200 for it, I was happy. What happens a lot is that is the rent being $25+ a day for picker many people choose to just buy the picker from the rental shop rather than pay more just to rent when the project stretches out. The rental yards like having a few around for this reason.
