Response: THANKS,IF I GO ON BID WILL YOU ACCEPT THE BID THEN YOU CAN CALL ME ON THE PHONE,THAT WAY I AM NOT ON THIS COMPUTER ALL DAY.THANKS STEVE (9/24/2009)
Response: Yes, but the purchase hasn't been finalized. I am going to call the seller to see if they accept my offer. Then I will call you. Todd (9/24/2009)
Response: thanks todd,be sure to read my feedback as well as all bidders. (9/24/2009)
Question: Please let us know when you need this picked up. We are going to be in the area soon where the table is, and you are just in our back yard for delivery. I did mistype the bid, and forgot to include the setup in the bid price. So just to let you know, the $750 bid is going to include setup, and we have been a billiard retail store owner right here in Evansville, Indiana called Cuesports World, and our billiard work is second to none. Please also read our feedbacks, and know you booked with Uship's recommended #1 pool table mover for the precision work that is required for a Brunswick Medalist Table. They are very similar to the Gold Crown and definately require a trained billiard mechanic. Setup is essential or all you just bought is a big laundry table. Make sure anyone you get to do this move is Trained in moving specialty pieces like pool table, and they are capable of getting replacement parts. The slate alone is around $1500 to replace if damage occurs. We are a billiard store. (9/24/2009)
Response: I like the bid. Does that include complete setup, felting the table / rails, and leveling the table. Thanks, Todd (9/24/2009)
Response: It does include complete setup, but doesn't include "new" felt but reusing old felt existing on the table. The rails will just be taken off the table at disassembly and should be individual for shipping purposes. There is no need in taking cloth off of the rails during disassembly, so if bed cloth is in good shape then recovery is not necessary. If you wish to recover with new cloth on the bed and rails then that quote is in our bid details and includes cloth, labor, partial reglueing of loose rubber, featherstrips, and any hardware needing to be repaired or replace in accordance with a recovery job. The discounted recovery rates are or during the move only because in the bid of the move you are already paying to have the old bed cloth put back on. We do not care if it is the old reused bedcloth or the new at this point, so if you recover after setup...the recovery price goes up by $100. Did that answer your question? Brent (9/24/2009)
Response: I'll be away from my computer until 3:30 or 4, but I have a few more questions before I accept the bid. When can you pick-up the table so I can let the seller of the table know. When can you have it delivered. Thanks, Todd (9/24/2009)
Response: We work in geographic routing, so I can have the table picked up in a matter of weeks. I have a truck staged in Sanford, FL, and the airline out of Owensboro starts back up I believe Oct. I will then make a stop over by Tampa for another table going to AZ. I will be heading to TX, AZ, CA, WA, and MT then back home. However, I will not haul your table with my truck all out there. I will send it back to Evansville or you with my wife, which ever you desire. I need to be in Grand Rapids, MI by the 28th of Oct. to do a pickup of a billiard table going to Long Island, NY. I have hired another guy to drive and train with me starting with the california run, so the truck doesn't stop for my sleep. I can not give you an exact date because I work on quality and not time. Each setup is worked until it is done. No exceptions. I may have problems with scheduling, but I am highly noted for my precision work. A pool table is all about the precision, but I agree if punctuality is key then I am not 4U (9/24/2009)
Question: Oh, and yes of course the bid includes leveling during setup. That is the only way to insure a good level is to level as you are building the table up. Not to be cheeky, but any self respecting table mechanic can not do a setup unless they level through all stages of setup. I am an avid pool player, and played in my local leagues and tournaments even before I opened my store in Evansville, Indiana. I setup a table taking great pride in my abilities to get the table to the best level possible, and make sure I would want to play on it. An unlevel table is of NO USE to anyone!!!! Brent (9/24/2009)
Question: I ran out of characters in the last message. Sorry. I am really the only "billiard mechanic" doing this as well as being a rolling billiard store and storefront. I am very busy, and I hope to do work for you, but I will not justify scheduling for quality on installs. Here in Evansville, I am the goto guy for billiards and have been so for 12 years. I want to expand that into the lower 48. I do not or ever claim to be fast. Someone that is fast I think doesn't have enough work or doesn't know the job of a pool table install. Every table is different especially dealing in used ones. Look at my feedback, and really read. My work is acclaimed, but those who had scheduling issues had a problem. You will need to be flexible with me, but you are local so to speak, so I really want to earn all your billiard business. You will need recoveries, sticks, accessories, etc. I do not want to just "haul" your table and never see you again. I stopped hauling just anything. I am just a billiard guy. (9/24/2009)
Question: Todd,
I see you are back on. Any more questions for us? Kristy (9/24/2009)
Response: Yes, on what date should I let the seller of the pool table know you can pick it up? Thanks, Todd (9/24/2009)
Response: The most accurate at the moment because we work a geographic region, and as we book jobs we head there. For instance, if I knew we had to have your table out by Oct.1, I would decline your job, but if your seller says it must be out by Halloween...then that gives me time to get a route together. I need to get that truck in FL, but it will be at least 2 weeks to pull that together. Is the table disassembled already? And to what extent is it disassembled? Is the cabinet for example torn down to pieces? The reaseon I ask is can I go mysel to get it, and can the seller help me load it in the van? If this can take place then I can go asap the flight starts back up in Oct. myself. Please we are not being sketchy, just that we will give the seller plenty of notice we are on the way, but exact dates I can not do right now. If we could talk on the phone, I would explain. Also, I will offer you, once you book with us, call me asap, and if you do not like what we say. We will cancel this match. (9/24/2009)
Response: I am waiting on the seller to email me back with all answers. I will accept your bid as soon as I hear back from the seller. Thanks Todd (9/24/2009)
