Is $70 a good deal for a 60" hi-lift (used, including shipping)?

there's nothing wrong with a rusty hi-lift.  they're cast, and very solid.  I'm sure the rust is only surface.
if it really bothers you, you can clean it up and paint it
as for the mechanics, if he says the switch operates easily, that's usally the biggest problem, and since it's a REAL hi-lift, you can get rebuild kits for them

yup, the moving parts freeze up prudy easily if they aren't kept oiled up.  never had a "high lift" brand one before.  but i have had a few old-school 'bumper jacks' rust through on me

but a rebuild kit for a used 60" jack is still cheaper at that price than a new one  ;)

I'm not worried about it.  If it works perfect: GREAT!  if it needs a little TLC, no big deal.
