Question: Hello and thank you for your prompt response to my initial bid. I am wondering what sort of target price you have in mind for this shipment as I have a route I am working which will put me in your delivery area in the next day or so, I would like to earn your business if at all possible, please let me know and we will see if we cant sharpen the pencil a bit more and get this put together for you.
Thanks again Ron

Response: Ron, I have a $199 bid so unless you think you can come in under this, I will probably go in another direction....thanks for the quote tho....Jane (10/16/2007)
Question: Hi! Check out my ratings by clicking on my name. Do you still need this done? What are the accurate measurements for each piece and do they all need to be hauled in an enclosed area or can I put the larger piece on my roof rack? Please let me know right away. Thanks! Dave (10/16/2007)
Response: Good morning!! The headboard is 56"x56"x4"; the footboard is 56"x38"x4" and then the two side rails are approx. 3"x3"x75". As long as they are wrapped, I don't care where you put it....and, I'm not in a huge rush if it helps to wait and combine with other shipments. Thanks for your consideration, jane (10/16/2007)
Response: Hi Jane! Thanks for your quick response. Are there any steps or weird gyrations at the pickup or drop off and will there be help loading and unloading? I can pick up and deliver your bed frame in the next few days on my way through for $199 cash up front door to door. Please let me know right away if this works for you and I'll submit a bid while I still have an opening for you in my schedule. Thanks! Dave (10/16/2007)
Response: Good morning Dave.....Just heard back from the seller - no steps/outside pickup at her residence. Let me know what other information you need and I will get it to you...thanks for your help, Jane (10/17/2007)
Response: Hi Jane! Thanks for getting back to me with the info. I was just looking at my route and may have thought of a way to make this better for both of us. Could meet me around Louisville to pick up the bed? If so, I could pick up the bed in Holland and deliver it to you near or in Louisville for $119 cash up front. Please let me know if this works for you and I'll submit a bid while I still have an opening in my schedule for you. Thanks again! Dave (10/17/2007)
Response: I think this would work - timing will be the question - when do you think you will be in Louisville? I will be home over the weekend thru Monday so I could do it virtually anytime from Friday thru Monday (I'm in Florida half of the month), if not, my brother can probably meet you. Give me a rough schedule and I think we can get this finalized. Thanks! (10/17/2007)
Response: Hi Jane! Thanks for your quick reply. I have submitted a bid for you. Please read it carefully and then accept right away so I can schedule you and plan my trip. Thanks! Dave

Response: Dave,
The seller stresses to me that the pieces are NOT heavy at all (given that is is supposed to be cast iron, i'm a bit surprised) but said someone is usually around her house. Given that fact, do you need help and also, what time do you think you will be in Holland? Jane (10/17/2007)
Response: Hi Jane, I expect to be in the Holland area tomorrow evening depending on traffic, weather and road gremlins. However I really am hitting some bad storms in Nebraska this evening. I could keep the pickup person updated by Email as to my progress so they would have a better idea of my ETA as I traveled east. Also, would still need some help, mostly to protect your pieces when lifting them. Something the size of the headboard would be ackward for one person. Please let me know right away. Thanks!

Response: ok - the seller is Kimberly [email address removed] and her phone numbers are [phone number removed] she will be out tomorrow evening between 6:30 to 7:30 but you can talk with her and arrange the time....my phone number in indiana [phone numbers removed] I will actually be in Louisville on Friday but it is probably wishful thinking that we will be there the same time. It is about 90 minutes from my home so i if you can give me a closer timeframe tomorrow evening, it would be great!! thanks...jane (10/17/2007)
