I was hoping to get $100 (or best offer) for each plus shipping. One ECO 20 is well-used, but the second one has been used just several times. The Mini Advance has been used about six times. I got the second ECO 20 and the Mini Advance so I can hatch multiple sets of eggs one year - during...

Hope everyone has been well and staying cool this summer. :frow
