I’m watching this auction for a vacuum chamber. It weighs 653Kg (1440Lbs). Big and Heavy. I checked fedex rates, it would cost a minimum of $2,000 to ship this beast. More than the chamber. Maybe it can be uhauled for less: Road Trip.
MSimon, this thing is near you.

All depends on what you mean by near. :-)
Just as a WAG it looks like a semiconductor reactor. Maybe 4″ or 6″ wafers.
There should be a lot of that kind of stuff coming on the market with the semi industry consolidating.
Regular LTL truck freight is probably not terribly expensive for something like this. I’d ask the seller if they can get you a quote or try freightquote.com. You may want to have the thing crated if you go this route though. There’s a loading dock in your building, right?
