Question: Hi Ray, I'll be in Toledo, OH in a couple of weeks and then headed back west. I could go on east and get this and bring it to Milan, IL for you. Any chance the seller could get this to an address in Waterville, OH (just south of Toledo)? What price do you have in mind to have this moved? Thanks ... Bruce (10/30/2009)
Response: Hi Bruce, Thanks for your interest in my shipment. I will ask the guy who sold the cart if he will deliver to Waterville, OH, but I doubt that it would be practical. Waterville would be nearly a 2 hour drive for him, and Milan, IL close to that for me, so after I would pay him for his delivery (if he would do it) and add my costs to drive about the same distance, I'm already getting up to about what a freight company would charge for door to door service. I'll let you know if I find out anything from the seller, but I won't be able to tell you unless you would ask me another question or place a bid, and if you place a bid, it would have to be picking it up at an address in Litchfield, OH, and delivering to either Milan, IL, or Biggsville, IL, because I won't have the full answer to your question for a day or so. Let me know if you're still interested, but honestly, I'd say if Litchfield is 2 hours out of your way, it doesn't look real feasible. Thanks, Ray Brokaw (10/31/2009)
Response: What would be more convenient on your end for delivery? Biggsville or Stronghurst? I may be able to get over and get it on the pickup end. ...... Bruce (10/31/2009)
Response: Hi again Bruce, There is a parking lot just off the shoulder of Hwy 34 in Biggsville next to the Gas Station big enough for Semi-trucks to stop and take a break or for the night, and that lot is a mile and a quarter North of me. Stronghurst is about 8 or 9 miles South-west of me, with no real place for a big truck to stop without going into the small town. I don't know if you have a big truck, small truck, etc., etc., so maybe the parking spot isn't an issue. Obviously Biggsville is closest for me, (I've met Semi's in there before and unloaded large tractor parts with my loader tractor before), but with a smaller item like the cart, a simple transfer over into a pickup should be simple enough regardless of what you drive. As far as delivery around here, while Biggsville is my first choice, anything reasonably close I'll consider depending on your route, price, etc. Let me know if you are still interested. I'm sometimes away from the computer for up to a day. Sincerely, Ray Brokaw (10/31/2009)
Question: Hello, im going to be driving through both locations next week. Im the lowest bidder (looking for feedback) I don't take deposits, only would charge upon delivery. Let me know. thank you (11/4/2009)
Response: Do you have an idea of what day you would be making the pickup at Litchfield??? Thanks if you can give it a good guess. He said Wed. or Thurs. evenings would work best, but he could leave it out on the day of pickup if other days or times of day are needed. (11/4/2009)
Response: Ok let’s tentatively plan on late Wednesday. (11/5/2009)
Response: Late Wednesday sounds good for a tentative plan. I see your bid has expired. You can give me a call if you want. Sincerely, Raymond Brokaw, Biggsville, IL (11/5/2009)
