Question: Hi, How soon do can do business, I am loading out from Hobbs,NM and need another shipment to fill out my trip to florida. If we can agree on a price and I could load as soon as tommorrow or friday,I could make a bid. Am fully legal trucker with referances w/major companys I haul for under contract. Please respond asap as I have other bids out to complete this load. Thanks, Mike (2/11/2009)
Response: Mike:
The auction ends on Sat. morning, that would be the earliest I could work out a deal. This is an auction, you'd have to load the boat (no trailer) at this marina and bring it to Pt. Charlotte. I would pay for any fees to load on your truck (assuming the marina does that, I'm sure they would be willing). [phone number removed] so you can call me direct to discuss rate and anything else. Thanks. Henry. (2/11/2009)
Response: Sorry Henry, I'm heading out today. I'll check back later if I have a delay. Good Luck, Mike (2/11/2009)
Response: ok (2/12/2009)
Response: Hi Henry, I am currently headed into so. florida to load return trip back thru houston, ending up in new mexico. I am looking for loads going back in that direction, on 28th thru first week in march. If you buy this boat, I would do it for $1,000, if they could load it and provide any pallets or braces I would need to haul on my 35" flat bed RGN trailer, if needed, and If I can haul it into Pt. Char. Fl, without any special permits. Let me know what you think, as I keep bids out ahead of me to keep loads booked. Thanks, Mike (2/16/2009)
Response: I think your saying you want to take my trailer to tx. and then come back to fl? That would work for me, of course, I have to wait until the end of the auction and it hasn't started yet. It is scheduled to start Feb 21 and end 7 days later on the 28th. Of course, 1000 is the top end of what I was looking to pay. Obviously, if you would work with me on the price, that would be better for me. (2/16/2009)
Response: Sorry Henry, I was going to load a full load on my trailer and head back to texas. I don't pull other peoples trailer, its better for me to haul loads on MY trailer, and better for you. I was going to make offer to haul your boat on my flat bed from texas to you in florida. I make bids on loads that are going on my route. Those of us who are owner operators, work hard to book in advance our loads, so we can make a reasonable profit for our high cost of operating. I will wait and see if you get the boat, and then bid on it at that time. Regards, Mike (2/16/2009)
Response: Thanks Mike. (2/17/2009)
Question: I would be able to assist you if she had a trailer with her. (2/11/2009)
Response: It's an auction and it doesn't come with a trailer. But they must have a fork lift or something at the marina to lift the boat. At this end, they have something as well, or I could have the trailer ready by the time you arrive. [phone number removed] if you want to speak to me directly. (2/11/2009)
Response: If you can get a trailer for her, I can pick her up. My plan is to be in the area around the 17th or 18th of Febuary (2/11/2009)
Response: I don't think I'll be able to get a trailer for her. I have one here, but obviously that is no good to you. (2/11/2009)
Question: I can transport for 800.00 with your trailer. (2/11/2009)
Response: It doesnt come with a trailer. (2/11/2009)
Response: Do you want someone to come by and get that trailer to go pickup the boat? (2/11/2009)
Response: Thanks, do you mean from Fl to TX and then back? I don't think so. (2/11/2009)
Response: 1000.00 loaded on our trailer, let me know if we can assist you. (2/15/2009)
Response: I had to let the auction complete because I had no one respond within the timeframe. There will be another in a few weeks and I'll have to try again. Thank you. (2/15/2009)
Question: Good Morning Henery. I am bidding a trip to Texas and would like to place a bid on your boat. Would the second week of March work for you if you win the bid? Thanks Scott, Adams Transportation (2/12/2009)
Response: Sure. I just found out the marina has a crane to lift the boat onto a flat bed or whatever you use. There is no trailer. How much do you charge? (2/12/2009)
Response: Henry. For some reason uship is not loading the map or mileage. so I used Map Quest, so it at a little over 1,000 miles does that sound correct? I can use one of my trailers. Do you want to launch it At delivery, I could do the lift or boat ramp to save you so money. My bid is placed for $1,600. Thanks Scott, Adams transportation (2/12/2009)
Response: I'm sorry, its too much money. It wouldn't be worth it for that much. I'll buy a boat locally then. (2/12/2009)
Question: Hi, I will be leaving FL for TX next week and could take your trailer, load the boat onto it and bring it back. Also do you have the correct zip. Thanks (2/12/2009)
Response: They said they have a crane and could lift the boat directly onto your flatbed if that works for you? How much do you charge? (2/12/2009)
Response: Hi, I don't have a flat bed, just an open trailer, and an enclosed one. I was interested in transporting your boat on your trailer. Thanks for taking the time to respond. (2/12/2009)
Response: Whatever works for you. I just don't have a trailer. They can lift it with a crane. All I need is a good bid between 400 and 1000.00 (2/12/2009)
Question: HELLO KIDDING IT WOULD BE A LITTLE CHEEPER IF YOU HAD A TRAILER TO TRANSPORT IT ON THANKS (2/12/2009)
Response: I know. I could also bring my truck and trailer to tx and it would be free but then I'd have to drive 2000 miles! The option I have then is to get someone to transport it without a trailer ie. on a flatbed, or not buy it and get one locally. So I'm trying to make this work, but I don't see it happening. (2/12/2009)
Question: I think I can meet your price and provide transport next weekend. Can you be ready? I have 100% positive feedback, am reliable and can be trusted. Feel free to review my profile under national transporters in the Provider Directory - boats- King Transport (2/16/2009)
Response: The auction starts the 21st and ends the 28th. What price are you meeting? I'm hoping for less than 1000 obviously. (2/16/2009)
Response: sorry I misunderstood I will be in Tx this comming weekend.Dave (2/16/2009)
Question: How is your max bid too high? If i wasn't passing through to Florida I'd ask more. (2/20/2009)
Response: Not sure I understand your question or this system. I'm looking for the best deal between 500 and 1000 for a salvage boat. So far, I've only received offers for a 1000.00 The boat itself might only be worth 1000.00 I may have to wait until there is an auction of a boat in florida and I won't ship it because its too expensive. (2/21/2009)
Response: You’re stated "MAX BID" is $1000. My bid was $1000 yet you rejected it as “PRICE TOO HIGH” Get it? Also, Price you pay for the boat has nothing to do with the cost to transport this boat. One is the sale of “SALVAGE” The other is the transport of a commodity, not the sale of junk.
(2/21/2009)
Response: OK, well I rejected it because I didn't want to pay a thousand dollars. That is the MAX, not what I would like to pay. I have since received lower bids, so I was right in rejecting your offer. Thanks. (2/26/2009)
Response: this is the righ place for you. (2/26/2009)
