Cyclone dust collector (Raleigh)

I have a 1.5HP 110/220V cyclone dust collector with huge felt bags which greatly increases air flow and traps more particles far better than the crappy stock bags that come with Delta units.
Includes hoses and clamps.
I no longer have shop space and I need to clear it out of my garage.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the unit and aside from being dusty (duh), it's in perfect condition. I paid about $750-$1000 for all of the equipment.
Why zero cost? Because there's a catch. It's free to any woodworking who is/was a US veteran who has received a combat related purple heart. Just don't show up with a purple heart that you picked up at a garage sale.
Since the equipment isn't set up, I don't have a picture so I borrowed one that I found on the Internet. Mine is in far better condition.

Re: Purpleheart Vet ='s free Cyclone
That's awsome, It's a great offer. As others on here, I have a great place in my heart for our vets. These guys need all the support and help we can supply. My hat is off to you sir and maybe this will be the start of something big.

Re: Purpleheart Vet ='s free Cyclone
I'm the person who's giving away the cyclone DC. I've changed the wording in the ad and loosened up the restrictions, mainly that you don't have to have a Purple Heart. Please click on the craigslist link above for updated info.
The DC is *not* for sale. It will only be given away.

Re: Purpleheart Vet ='s free Cyclone
Heck, I'm a vet, Navy, 9 years. But no purple heart, and for that I'm grateful.

Re: Purpleheart Vet ='s free Cyclone
I don't think I pressed enough buttons in CL to get the modified listing updated. I pressed another button or two. This time, I cleared my browser's cache and reloaded the ad. It's now showing the modifications.
Thank you for pointing this out to me.

Re: Purpleheart Vet ='s free Cyclone
Frank, what an awesome gesture. I commend you on your unselfish gestures to the men and women that have protected us when we needed it. You are one of the true meanings of "Hero". Purple heart or not, you have a huge heart!

Hi Frank.
I might have known you were a member here.
I sent you the VA email.

Re: Purpleheart Vet ='s free Cyclone
I find it unbelievable that I can't find one single qualified person who wants this. I'm getting emails from people who simply want it simply because it's there.
People think if they slap those moronic 'Support Your Troops' bumper stickers, then they've done their part. No, a bumper sticker may make you look good for your neighbors but you haven't done anything for anyone.
Between work and responsibilities after work, I don't have the time to contact the VA.
Yeah, I'm a bit annoyed right now. I just got up and I got another email from some jerk who wants it.

Re: Purpleheart Vet ='s free Cyclone
Frank, my best friend's wife is a nurse at the VA clinic in Raleigh. Let me call her tonight and see what we can arrange.
My FIL at 86 still has shrapnel in him from WWII. Purpleheart Vets need to love and respect.

Re: Purpleheart Vet ='s free Cyclone
Frank,
Your offer is so great and the right person will come forward. As you well know, you "Hero's" are a proud bunch and there may be someone out there who needs a little nudging to accept.
Please be patient, this is the nicest gesture I've seen in a long time and thank you! 
Barbara
