$349.99 and I assume plus shipping. At 410 lbs, shipping will not be cheap....

$299.99 on sale if you have a local store then store can order it and there is no shipping cost. Regular $399.99 sale is good till 26th of December. It is a foot pump. I think the online estimate was like 38 bucks though. Once I got it out of the crate it was easy to move around. Took four of us to load it into my truck and I got it out my self. Thankfully it did not fall on me.

Yeah you will have to move some bikes around there John. It is big but not that bad of a foot print actually. Only way I have room for it is to leave a bike on it. Lucky or unLucky for me the Electra Glide is torn down a bit so it can reside there for the time being. Damn now I need a bigger garage. Hey John there is another one at Harbor Freight in San Bernardino. They must have ordered two when they placed my order.

I may give them a call. Does it come with a tire vise or an option for one? I would probably leave the BMW on it Hey,Is it getting cold up there yet?...John

In the 40's mostly sometimes in the 30's at night. Luckily no moisture to speak of so ice has not been a problem. Yep like Diablobrian said vice included with a tire stop and tie down loops. Plus a sliding panel for easy rear wheel removal, though you would still need a center stand or a jack under the bike to keep it upright after tire removal. It is pretty slick.

I have race stands I use to remove the wheels so I hadn't considered needing to block the bike up on the lift.
It should also be mentioned there is a safety bar that keeps the lift from lowering at the wrong moment. Big beefy steel bar, not some silly little latch.

does it collapse low enough to park a car over it in the garage when not in use?

Depends on the ground clearance of the car, plus it would hit the tire clamp as it sticks up aways.
