Additional Information: Need a boat trailered from Huntington Beach, CA to my home here in Lafayette, IN. This light-weight boat/trailer haul has a solid trailer with new tires and two spares and well greased bearings. I am located right off I-65 just an hour north of Indianapolis or 2.5 hours south of Chicago. I can meet you in Chicago or Indy to make this shipment more convenient and affordable for you and I as needed. - Thanks, Brad

P.s. - I also must wait about 48 hours before accepting any bids so I may get the payment transaction received/confirmed on my boat purchase etc.

Questions for this shipment: 

Question: I can pick this boat up next Sat. and will be back this way by Tue. I am dropping my trailer in Bowling Green, KY for repairs and taking a boat back to Nevada today. I will be comming back next week to pick it up. I can do it for your target price of $750.00 if you are willing to pay it up front. I am in Indy right now and will be here for a couple more hours. Please let me know either way. Thank you (3/24/2008)
Response: I prefer to have shipment "received" in-hand before issuing full payment. I am new to Uship and thought payments were issued after item is shipped? - Thx, Brad (3/24/2008)
Response: The best I could do is half down. USHIP has no control over payments, other than there deposit, it's up to the shipper & transporter too work it out. Also, the price you are wanting it done for is realy low considering fuel prices are over $4.00 a gallon. If your interested, I am here. Thank you (3/24/2008)
Response: How and when would I give 50% pre-payment/deposit? Do you take Pay Pal or visa? - Thx, Brad (3/24/2008)
Response: I cannot take credit cards or checks. The best way to do it iss thru Western Union. The deposit would need to be made before I schedule it for pick up. (3/25/2008)
Response: Ok, I understand. I should have an answer by tomorrow evening what's what to make plans for pick up etc. Still waiting for payment receipt confirmation etc. Would you like to place your bid in the mean time so we can deal as ready and not lose any time? (3/25/2008)
Response: It looks like I am picking up another boat in S. Cali. going back to the mid west that pays $1000.00. Sorry (3/25/2008)
Response: That's ok - no biggie. Thanks anyhow! I'm not in any hurry. Let the bidding continue... (3/25/2008)
Response: I could still do it, but it would be an extra week before I can get back to pick it up. Would that work? (3/25/2008)
Response: That would be a consideration - need a bid before we go too much further. I can wait 2-4 weeks to ship that's not a problem. There's no hurry to move the boat quickly on the seller's end. -Thx, Brad (3/25/2008)
Response: Brad, things have changed. I can pick it up on Sat. and get it too you within 2-3 days. I will place a formal bid now but I need to know ASAP. (3/26/2008)
Response: You'll know by 11pm tonight either way - ok! - Brad (3/26/2008)
Question: Your target price is to low for any transporter with insurance which I think you would want, and good feedback and profile Thanks walbert52 (3/24/2008)
Response: My target price covers anyone's costs out to Huntington Beach (gas/1-nite @ $80 hotel). I can do this shipment myself working thru Uship as well for free as per my own Uship transport profile. I just considered the thought of working thru a fellow transport firm as per my current time elements etc. Personally, I am not so concerned about the insurance for this particular transaction/shipment. - Thx, Brad (3/24/2008)
Response: Thanks that is the best i can tow it for. (3/24/2008)
Response: I do understand. However, I can do it myself for a $1350.00+ savings. Just thought to offer my target price of $750.00 to the 1st guy that considers bidding $750.00 and needs to take something else to CA etc. - thanks, Brad (3/24/2008)
