Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hello we will drive your vehicle to Wy for a cost of 975.00. Bottom line not added cost (10/28/2006)
Response: Does your offer mean that a personal driver will drive my Toyota to WY or that you will pack it on a truck? What is your shipping method? Can you take my car with a Thule rack loaded on the top? (10/29/2006)
Question: Hello - I'm very interested in doing this for you. I would need to pick up on 11/6 or 11/7 and delivery would be four to five days after that, weather permitting. It's getting to be that time of year. My bid would be for driving your 4Runner to Jackson Hole and would be reasonable and competitive. Please review my profile and feedback by clicking on my user name and ask any questions you may have. Please let me know ASAP if you'd like me to place a bid, because I would like to include a 7 day advance airfare purchase for a flight to MA. Thank you for your time and consideration. --Jim (10/29/2006)
Response: Jackson is Jackson Hole... so you'll be psyched to end up there anyway, Sorry that it's in advance of the ski season... I have to start work on the mountain when the season opens. Can you give me an idea of what you mean by competitive price? I have had a huge range of offers... I do like the sound of your offer, though. (10/29/2006)
Question: Hi -- I meant to say Jackson -- when I think of Jackson, I automatically think Jackson Hole. Too bad you don't want this done a little later this year or the beginning of next. I could take off a few days and go skiing. Thanks again. --Jim (10/29/2006)
Question: Hello! My bid is to "Drive" your Toyota to WY. If interested, please check my feedback by clicking on my screen name. Looking forward to working with you, Judy (10/29/2006)
Question: Hello -- I've placed my bid, and while I know it's not the least expensive, I hope you'll be able to grant me the bid as I would really, really like to go to Jackson again. My normal bid for this job would be about $150 more, but I'm trying to stay competitive with your other bidders....and I really want to do this job. Judy, letmedrive4you, is a great service provider, as you can see from her feedback. Unfortunately for me, I think she gets free or greatly reduced airfare, and I just can't beat her on most bids that we both bid on. I had a '91 4Runner that I put 160,000 miles on....best car I've ever owned. Thanks for considering me, you lucky dog....getting to work the season at Jackson Hole. --Jim (10/29/2006)
Response: hey Jim, well, you are, at the moment, my top pick. I need to sort a bit more out before i sign you on (although i'll be sure to respect the 7-day advance notice). thank you for bearing with me. cheers, lizzie (10/30/2006)
Question: Hi Lizzie -- Sorry, I had to let the bid expire because of the seven day thing. If you'd like me to resubmit, please let me know -- I'll do my best to keep the cost the same, maybe I can still get a cheap fare, or possibly use a train or bus. I'm on the road now and access the internet only twice a day, so leave me a note and I'll get back with you later this evening. Let me know your thinking. By the way, if you're considering a carrier, you might be interested in knowing that Consumer Affairs says the best way to ship a car is to drive it yourself; second best is to have a friend drive it; multi-car carriers come in last. I'm in the middle...like a temporary personal chauffeur. Thanks again. -Jim (10/31/2006)
Response: Hey Jim, What does the $900 include? Is gas an additional cost? Are your plane tickets an additional cost? Where are you coming from/going back to? Let's keep talking, need to just figure out these logistics. -Lizzie (11/1/2006)
Question: Hi Lizzie - Sorry, I'm a little late getting back on the internet....had to drive. If you're going to try to figure out all my logistics, in addition to yours, you're going to have your hands full. First, the bid includes everything...it is the maximum you will pay me unless something mechanical unforseen comes up with the 4Runner....not likely. Second, I'm going to be coming to MA from Florida where I'm headed at the moment and will be over the weekend. The cost of my transportation between those two points will be split between you and my current customer...win, win. My plan is to go home (Southern California) after your delivery as I don't have anything scheduled now (and with the exception of one day, I've been gone since the middle of September), but those plans can almost always change, depending on what happens on the road. If I were to find another delivery, say for instance, out of Salt Lake, I would take it, which would reduce your cost. Let me know if you'd (cont'd) (11/2/2006)
Question: (cont'd) me to resubmit the bid. We've lost the seven day advance notice advantage now, so it's probably going to cost more for me to get up to MA, but I'll check on it. I was already discounting my bid to stay competitive, so any additional costs are serious. I just checked and the discount airfares are still available, so I'll put the bid in again for $900, with an expiration for later this evening, but I won't be able to keep doing this forever. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you make up your mind. Thanks again for your consideration, Lizzie. --Jim (11/2/2006)
Question: (cont'd)Also, because I don't know your logistics, I want you to know mine are quite flexible. I can pick the car up as early or as late as you would like (within reason...say, as late as the ninth) and can meet you anywhere you'd like in Wyoming....and can probably be there in as little as three days (weather permitting) or take longer if you need more time to arrive and meet me. If you accept the bid, we'll have direct contact information and can work out the details. If for some reason we can't, (unlikely, 'cause I'm so accommodating), then we can just to a match retraction and your listing will be reactivated. (11/2/2006)
Question: Hi Lizzie -- Sorry, didn't mean to resubmit it twice. They're both exactly the same; I'll cancel one to make it less confusing. --Jim (11/2/2006)
