Are you looking to buy this machine or is this something that you already have and are looking to sell?

This is just my opinion so feel free to take it with a grain of salt... Airlessco isn't exactly known as a reputable striping machine for heavy duty work. I would probably keep looking if I were you.
TruColors is correct, save your money and buy a real machine when you save up enough cash. Also stay away from craiglist deals because there is no guarantee if they are stolen or if there is some major problems with parts need replaced. Your best bet is to check out the graco striping machines on ebay or go to auctions because most of the time the people that go to these auctions are looking for antiques so they are not interested in a dirty looking striping machine heck most of the time they have no clue what it is or what they are worth. Plus auctions usually check to see if equipment is stolen before they sell it at their auctions and I think ebay has a buyer guarantee on everything they have listed on ebay.
If I remember correctly, Graco had bought out Airlessco a few years ago. I haven't really seen them trying to sell them much under the Airlessco name? I had a small model 3000 several years ago as my first airless type. Worked fine for several years with routine maintenance as any machine needs. When I upgrade to Graco, I swore I would never go back to anything else! Well, I also bought a new Titan 4900 years ago. Great machine, I sold it though. Preferred only Graco brand equipment. I tried them all and shall only stay with Graco equipment from here on! My advice too is to save up and get the better brand name so you can be sure it will stay on the job with you for a long time to come!
Nate, if you're looking to save some on the machine you choose, then I would not look any further back than a Linelazer III series striper. Of course the best thing is to go for the newer models in the Linelazer IV series, if the funds are there for a better quality striper? I totally agree with ncstripe1!
