Questions for this shipment: 

Question: How soon does this item have to be shipped? I am leaving for Virginia Beach on the 22nd of February and I live in Lakeoert MI. (1/18/2008)
Response: The bass is in Michigan, and has to be shipped here. So if you're coming back to VB, maybe we can work it out. There is no definite tie when it has to be here in Wmsbg. The bass is in Croswell MI, about 15 N. of Port Huron, near the lake shore. Thanks for your reply. (1/18/2008)
Question: I received your response. I know where Croswell is. I have a 1991 Ford Ranger with a cap on the back, I am sure the bass will fit in there. I could cover it up and it would be fine. I understand that Williamsburg is by Busch gardens? Would you meet me along the freeway on my way to VB? I am not sure what time I would be coming through. I want to get an early start here and it takes about 12 hours to get there. (1/19/2008)
Response: Hi - I think the bass would fit in the back of a Ranger. It's 6' long, but you can lay it in at an angle. Even if it didn't fit completely, if you could cover it in plastic sheeting where it's exposed, that would be OK. It's already broken (this is a restoration project for me), so it's coming in pieces anyway and as long as it didn't get soaked it should be fine--temperature's not really an issue. Lay it on a blanket or something and wrap it once. I'm in Queens Lake, upper York Co., about 3 mi. from Colonial Williamsburg. I-64 runs through the neighborhood, so yes I could meet you at an exit. The Camp Peary/Williamsburg exit has an easy off/on with a parking area right there. What is your schedule and what would you charge me to transport the bass? Are you traveling ~to~ MI and then back to VB? Thanks. (1/19/2008)
Question: I received your response. I will be leaving Michigan on the 22nd of February for Virginia Beach, I would expect to be where you are that evening. I will place my bid and you talk to me after that, should you accept the bid. (1/19/2008)
Question: Although I seen quite a bit of difference in the bids, I will still do it for the price I quoted you. My wife and I are traveling to VA Beach on the 22nd to visit my daughter and her husband who is in the navy and stationed at Oceana. I was going there and just thought I could help you out. (1/24/2008)
Response: Hi Patches -- I was hoping to get it sooner, but I think Feb 22 will be soon enough. Thanks. I'll accept your bid if you're still up to doing it. The guy who has the bass asked if you could pick it up on Thursday, since you're leaving Friday. (1/24/2008)
Question: Sounds good to me, I can still do it and we can make arrangements after you accept my bid, Thanks. (1/25/2008)
