Response: No target price, not sure what fair costs would be. Being that you are in buisness and normally do this, let me know how much. I can tell you that if I do not get a fair price in my mind locked down by today, I already have tenative plans 03/20 to get this myself. This furniture is owned by my parents who a retired in Hilton Head area. Furniture was offered to me and I was planning a making this a short Easter weekend with family and get these items. I have some other fmaily obligations that really should be more addressed at this moment that my wife and I are just thinking than rather drive down for such a short trip it really does not make much sense and are more inclined to try and get a trucking/shipping to do this, as I am planning on a August vacation which includes a visit. Planning on going to Disney with family and really do not want to make this trip twice. But again, if price is way out of line I'll just get them on my own. Sorry to bore you with the details.Let me know,Matt (3/18/2008)

Response: That is fine, I understand and I will place my bid accordingly. Hope to do business. Thanks Mike (mlp677) (3/18/2008)

Response: Mike, I do not know how this shipping bidding works, but I need a price/bid now. Is there a way on this site (not sure how)that is you bid is acceptable that I can close this bidding auction and process this? If I do not get a response today, then I'll just proceed in driving to get this on Thursday evening. I am trying to avoid doing this and I have some other family commitments that would make having you get this much easier Please advise, Thanks, Matt (3/18/2008)

Response: Yes,You should be able to go to the bid details and hit the acceptance of bid which in turn will give both you anc\d me each others info. Hope this helps and hope to do business with you. If or when you accept please call me as I am heading to Franklin, Ky tonight so won't be at the computer. Thanks again Mike(mlp677) (3/18/2008)

Response: Hi Mike, I hope you get this message before you leave tonight. I have one other request with regards to your quote. Originally I have a standard living room chair included in this delivery (see my original list), but this list is revised and the chair is now not included. So All I need is the sofa, love seat and the box spring and mattress delivered. Can you give me an updated price? The date you would be able to pick this up and the delivery date. The furniture is precisely located in Bluffton, SC. Called "Sun City, Hilton Head" (Not sure if you have ever seen this area) But, this is a gated community, so I would have to give your contact info to my parents, as they would have to provide this to the gate guard and issue you a gate pass to allow you in. My father would have no problem assisting you to load the items if you you require the help. Please let me know so I can get the arrangements going on this on their end with them. Thanks and I look forward to you reply! Matt (3/18/2008)

Response: Hello, just returned home and got your message. the price would remain the same as I bid according to milage and not pieces. I would have to pick up Sat after I drop in Charleston, before I head to Savannah for Sun. There would be no problem coordinating with your Dad and I would appreciate the help loading if he is able if not I,ll work it out. Thanks again Mike(mlp677) (3/19/2008)

Response: One last amail with a few questions Mike, How do I proceed with payment to you. Does this work thru this site? PayPal, Certified Bank check, etc. I only ask this as I have never done this before thru this site. I am a verteran Ebay buyer and seller and I am assuming it works in the same manner. If I click and accept your bid, does it provide for a section where payment is made, or does this happen when I pay you in person? Also with regards to Saturday pickup, are you refering to this Saturday 03/22? This would be a good date for my parents to have you pick this up. would would be the actual day you would deliver? Saturday 03/29 would be best, but I could be available after 4:00 pm Friday unless yo utruly need to come earlier? Also my father can also get a neighbor friend to help lift this into your truck, if you need more help. On my end I can help and I also have a son who can help as well. Would these items be all covered up so they do not get dirty or damaged? Please advise,Matt (3/19/2008)

Response: The pickup would be Sat the 22nd and the delivery would be the 28-29 which ever fits your schedule. Payment for me would be cash on deliveryand you'll see the breakdown on the bid details. Yesthe furniture wuold be covered with blankets and if I need to I'll shrink wrap. Thanks again Mike(mlp677) (3/19/2008)

Response: Mike, Just to clarify paying you, which will be done in cash; when I go to check this out, It states a total of $365.68, of which this amount of $40.68 is the booking fee amount that is deducted from the total with a remaining balance due of $325.00. The $325.00 will be the balance that I will actually pay you in cash..correct? I just do not want to process this and still find out that I still owe you the full total of $365.68 on top of the booking fee of $40.68. Can you please let me know on these costs and I will process this upon you reply! Thanks for being so patient with me with all these emails, just trying to get accumulated to how this system works. Regards, Matt (3/19/2008)

Response: You are exactly correct. Sure seems difficult at first as by uship rule I'm not permitted to mention the deposit in our conversations. Why I don't know but it does confuse everyone new to the site. Mike(mlp677) (3/19/2008)
