Ropetek Wraptor

[NashvilleTN]

Anyone interested in a Ropetek Wraptor? A little over 7 years old. Only used a handful of times. Rope and Wraptor are immaculate and look brand new. I would be looking to get $1700. Located in Nashville TN

You're not being very nice. Thing is, it would be a pleasant road trip to pick it up.

I'm never giving up my Wraptor!

Makes for easy Lion's Mane harvesting. This one was 7lbs.

You think the price is too low it makes it suspicious?

Somewhat!! It’s your machine you can price it how you like. What makes it suspect? Price, your aviatar says new member and no photos! Also says your a new member buy you joined in 2017!!
Not trying to get personal or insult your integrity at all so please don't take it that way!!
When i purchased mine it was substantially more!!

It's a 5 year old piece of used equipment with a very niche market. 50% of retail is pretty reasonable.

Looks like it’s a little over seven years old. I searched “Wraptor“ in my email search bar and this was all that came up. No receipt that I could find…

Your Wraptor is just like mine. Mine came lightly used from Charley Pottorff around 1-6-2011. Charley sent me the famous Jerry Poster signed along with it. I wonder if it is the Wraptor used for access for the felling of those giant tree tops?

I'm pretty sure the felling of the redwoods preceded the Wraptor by many years.

Only 50%? Thats disappointing!!! Would think being a niche piece of gear would help it retain more of its value!

Among the interesting features on TreeBuzz you can see how many posts a person has made since being a member. Going back and reading some of those can be a good indicator too.

I'm talking about the redwood top in Jerry B's classic poster cut at 150ft. up. The one where he has a cast on his foot.

 

[Bucknut]

I could be wrong, but wasn’t that pic taken in the early 1980s? (Or is the Wraptor that old?)

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Jerry B's classic poster

Thats what I meant by 'the redwoods'

Like @Bucknut said early 80's seems right

When was the first issue of Arbor Age? That photo was the cover of that issue. I am thinking 78 or 79.
