Default Bike Jack?

I found a dunwell bike lift for sale and am looking for opinions on its quality and durability. I have searched for a website for dunwell and have come up empty. Are they out of business? The current owner of the jack says I can buy a similar product at sears for around a hundred bucks and told me to make him an offer. I do know that he paid $400 several years ago and the jack looks like new.
What do you guys think? Is this a good deal or do I pass?
Thanks,
Rick

Hmm, if you can't find any info online and there wasn't a phone number available, maybe they are out of business. Probably a good reason for it. Maybe they didn't have a good product?

I have a Dunwell. Wife and kids bought it for dads' day. Awesome! heavy duty. Wifey knows I only like the best and this lift is great. It's no flimsy p.o.s. And AMERICAN MADE.
Pricey, yes. But you get what you pay for. You won't regret it.
