Question: Good morning. I expect to complete my current North bound run at the end of next week and am booking now for my return run South in hopes of a quick turn around. I would like to schedule pick ups starting no later than Monday, June 22nd, with final south bound deliveries expected within a week.(depending, of course, on how quickly I can fill a load) If this time frame could meet your needs on this, and there would be some assist with loading and unloading, if needed, I can get this delivered for you for 175, paid at pick up via PayPal(preferred). If you could be so gracious as to let me know as soon as possible, so I can know whether to possibly add this to my schedule, or focus my efforts elsewhere. Thanks, Howard. Please review my profile and feedback, as you should do with any bidder you may consider-it really does tells a story about the provider. Also. please note that I have NOT YET submitted the formal bid, but will await your reply before doing so. Again, Thank You.

Response: Howard,
The item doesn't end on ebay until next Thursday, the 18th. Your offer is acceptable, but we won't know until Thursday if we won it. If we win the table we pay immediately so it should be available for pick up on the week of the 22nd.

Response: Yes, I know about the auction. I'm just trying to line up enough to fill a load for a return run south. I will check backwith you after the auction ends. I'm hoping to line up other items for pick up on Long Island in order to cover all those tolls( with my truck, and nothing in tow, it runs right at 83.00 to get on and off the island) (6/15/2009)
Response: The auction ends today. We haven't bid yet because we haven't gotten any confirmed bids for shipping. Will you commit to ship the table if we agree to pay for the tolls? (6/18/2009)
Response: Unfortunately, I'm off the island now, and the tolls for this truck(and its not a big truck either)run 81.00 to get on and off the island. However, if you're willing to cover that cost as well as the original quote, I can do this for you with a pick up no later than Saturday. (I have a boat to hook up on Sunday near Buffalo and with a boat(double axle trailer) in tow, the trolls just go crazy! (6/18/2009)
Response: OK. Go ahead and submit the quote. If we win the table we'll pay for it tonight and you should be able to pick it up by Saturday. (6/18/2009)
Response: ok..let me get to a rest area first..will submit then. (6/18/2009)
Question: After considering all the back tracking, and intense driving needed to pick this single item up on Saturday, it just isn't cost effective, so, regretfully, I must withdraw my bid for a saturday pickup. If we can arrange for a pickup for the first part of the week, I will still be happy to deliver this for you, same rate and terms. Thanks, Howard. (6/18/2009)
