Chance to pick up a 225 slant locally...questions

Us slant guys and add that to us being A body guys and girls, are a conservative bunch!!!! Good thing as our slant A bodies are not usually worth a million $$$$$!!
Free to $150 for a running complete slant, seems the norm for me,.. I did give $500 for a completely rebuilt one back in 2004. When I need a good one, they are never anywhere close or the seller thinks he will get more!
Seems like the 'good" ones I have had, some PO had rebuilt it at some point in time!!!
