Response: I will be interested in doing business with you and if all goes well and you give me a reasonable quote within my limited budget, and deliver on it, it might be the beginning of a long business relationship. I live close to Blaine Washington and if North Seattle is the best you can do I can pick it up from there. I look forward to hearing from you. cheers (1/14/2008)
Response: Hello and Thanks for getting back to me. I can put in a bid at this time if my last note I wrote to you sounds good. I can keep to that quote of $1,800.00 as I stated before. My truck is fully enclosed,and I use the Etrack system to secure the vehicle to the floor of the truck. Let me know and I can submit a bid for you to look over and ask any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.

Response: So your just going to drive it from New York yourself? (1/15/2008)
Response: someone else gave me a lower bid. but thanks for your time.
cheers (1/15/2008)
Response: So this needs shipped again? (2/7/2008)
Response: The first deal did not go through but now it is agreed to complete and ready to be picked up if you are interested. (2/7/2008)
Response: I resubmitted my bid. Thank You . TIM/SBM Inc. (2/7/2008)
Response: I have a company who will be shipping this van for me for the price I stated in my listing but will not be able to pick it till next week, If you have an empty truck coming this way in the next day or two and want to take it it for the same price, it is yours. thanks (2/7/2008)
Response: I sincerely appreciate the offer but I can't ship it for that price. Fuel alone makes it out of the question, not to mention food and lodging as well as wear and tear on the truck for $1400. I don't know who is offering to do it for 1400 because its nobody on uship because there are no bids listed. I see the guy whom says he will drive it for $1566 or ship it for $2300 in the Q&A section. But if somebody is saying they will do it for 1400 tell them you would like them to committ to that price tonight and I bet they wont, because they will be trying to get a job that will pay for itself,(IE, PAY MORE THAN YOURS) while they have you hanging on a whim and a prayer for the next week. IT WOULD BE VERY SUPRISING IF SOMEONE SHIPPED YOUR VAN as big as it is FOR 1400$ and its being shipped 3000 miles over the Rockies in the dead of winter. YOU See I have been doing this for 20 years and I just know all the games these carriers play. I'm just trying to help you figure out what is going on.Cheers (2/7/2008)
Response: Thank you i appreciate your concern. I will then ask you what is your bottom line??. If you help me on this one it may be the beginning of a long business relationship I will be shipping many more of these vans . I could use your experience and reliability. If it will make a difference and cheaper I could meet you in Seattle instead of Blaine Washington. thanks (2/7/2008)
Response: Hello I would like to work something out with you, and try to accommodate your needs. However as you can see by the prices for shipping you are receiving at right around $2000 to $2300 ,the bottom line on this shipment for the weight ,Length, and miles, as well as record highs on Fuel prices all culminate together with winter time and added operating expenses, and coming over the Rocky mountains. It all adds up to expensive shipping rates. However THE commercial average for shipping a vehicle of this size is $1.10 to 1.75 a mile. PLUS A FUEL SURCHARGE because fuel prices are over $2.75 a gallon. Anytime fuel is over that price commercial carriers add on a fuel surcharge. I would bring down the price by $50.00 for dropping off in Seattle,WA as opposed to BLAINE,WA.... I hope to hear from you soon. TIM/SBM Inc. Good Day ! (2/8/2008)
Response: You still did not give me your least price. If you will do it for 1500 to Seattle and can pick it up in the next couple of days its yours. otherwise I have a shipper who if I did not get a shipper by the 15th they will be able to accommodate me for $1450. If you cant I understand. thanks (2/8/2008)
Response: NO I CANNOT DO IT FOR $1500.00...... $1952.00 IS MY LOWEST PRICE AND THAT IS TO SEATTLE,WA ....... GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR $1450.00 SHIPPER................TIM/SBM Inc. (2/8/2008)
Response: I will let you know if I can come up with more money somewhere. thanks (2/9/2008)
Response: Oh OK , Well I just wanted to let you know that I am supposed to receive a call from my fathers attorney tomorrow for shipping his Porsche from Oklahoma, Tulsa to Seattle. Everything is on a first come first served basis though and he knows that as well. I won't have the room for both shipments on this trip so it will boil down to who has the funds and accepts the terms first. For the Porsche from Tulsa to Seattle he is paying a dollar a mile. So you can see how reasonable your qoute for shipping was that I gave you. TIM/SBM Inc. (2/9/2008)
Question: shipper ican drive it to you aslo,i have tag/ if you do not want it driven you may want to take it out of driveaway opton,,,thxs (1/14/2008)
Response: Thanks, but I will want to pick it from where you decide to drop it off between Seattle and Blaine Washington. whichever point is cheaper to take it to. I am trying to keep the cost down thanks
