For Sale: Pulley

Simple machinery! Available near you right now!

Have you got a piano that only fits in your window? Or an elaborate prank involving a bucket of water over a very high door? Or some third thing? 

Craigslist has the answer you seek: this vintage pulley.

I don't know much about simple machinery, and the price is kind of a tease, but if you're in the market for a vintage pulley I can't imagine you're going to go wrong with this thing.

The seller was originally asking $175, which seems a bit much considering we're dealing with what is basically Iron Age technology here. 

According to the ad, however, he or she is willing to come down on price, all you've got to do is pick up that phone and shout "I want the damn pulley!"
