Question: i could do next week for 700 total (5/23/2008)
Response: I think $700 is too high. I would only consider offers in this range if I were totally desperate. Thank you anyway. -John (5/23/2008)
Response: ill do for target if u can wait till 2nd monday of june setting a run up now. (5/31/2008)
Response: I think that might work out well. When would be your approximate target pick date and drop off date? Also, you have an open trailer w/ramps where the mower can be driven on, correct? Do I need to worry about someone stealing the mower's bagger in the middle of the night? ...Just asking. Thanks -John (5/31/2008)
Response: i would p/u on monday and drop off tues am i do have ramps and i also stay whith truck and trailer no worrys. (6/1/2008)
Response: Ok. That sounds good. Please bid. I have emailed the previous owner to verfiy if he will be available on Monday morning, June 9th for the pickup. If you don't plan on bidding today, please let me know when you plan on bidding. Thanks.

Question: I wil lbe going down to TN about May 29th. Would there be help or equipment to load it into my truck? Thanks. (5/23/2008)
Response: I will check to make sure, but this is a residential pickup and drop off with no loading equipment. As far as help, expect one guy to provide minor assitance with no heavy lifting. Ideally, this mower would be driven on a trailer using a ramp. I will call to verify my assumptions. Your timing of the 29th would be excellent. (5/24/2008)
Response: I would have to rent a trailer that will cost me $500. I have brought many of them like that . Is there a business with a loading dock near by? (5/24/2008)
Response: I have written an email to the previous owner to ask that very question. I will post a response as soon as I have the info. What kind of trailer are you proposing to rent? (5/24/2008)
Response: The only trailer I could rent will be a Budget car trailer since I ma driving their truck. (5/24/2008)
Response: I guess that's an enclosed lockable trailer with no way to drive a mower on it. What would your total charge be? There is no loading dock (pickup or dropoff). The previous owner is willing to drive the mower on the trailer. Since you are restricted to only use a Budget trailer, I don't see this deal as doable. I would consider buying a trailer near the pickup location for the sole purpose of transporting the mower. Then someone could drive the whole rig to me and drop it off. (5/24/2008)
Response: I wil lrent a Budget trailer and charge you $600 since ineed one in TN anyway. (5/24/2008)
Response: I will consider your offer. How would you load and unload the mower? Does budget offer insurance on contents in the event of damage? (5/24/2008)
Response: NO when is comercial use. I would prefer to carry it on the truck. It can be stolen and I do not want to worry. (5/25/2008)
Response: Thanks Jackie. Please explain how you plan to load and unload the mower (on either a truck or trailer) with no loading dock or ramps. -John (5/25/2008)
Response: I do not have a plan. There is normally a forklift, backhoe with arms, loading dock or a bunch of guys to lift up the ramp. I have also backed up to a pile of dirt and used plywood for a short ramp to move in a small electric vehicle. You may want to check with the seller for the local posibilities. He may have a traielr with ramps himself and the ramps can be made to go into my truck. (5/26/2008)
Question: Unfortunately, we realized that our lift gate will not accomadate loading the mower onto our truck. We will not be able to load the mower as our lift gate is 40x70 inches wide without ramps. If you will be responsible for getting the mower onto the truck and having someone with ramps to unload it at its destination, we will still make the delivery for you. Because we made a mistake, our times can be more flexible... anytime after 10:00 on Tuesday. So sorry for the mix up. Please let me know if you can load the mower and have someone unload the mower. (5/26/2008)
Response: Bummer. A few measurements for consideration: The width from outside rear tire to outside rear tire is 43.5". The mower width without the rear bagger installed is 46.5", length 72.5". The tires are nearly 12" wide. Do you think it is possible to squeeze it on the lift? The previous owner doesn't own ramps. If it doesn't go on the lift, it's a deal breaker. I did check with the owner and he is willing to have the mower picked up tomorrow morning. -John (5/26/2008)
Response: will be there about noon need 4x8 plywood please reply asap (5/26/2008)
Response: I won't be able to confirm the plywood availability until the early AM (unless the guy responds tonight). Why noon? Previous owner would stongly prefer an earlier pickup (closer to 8 or 9. I'll ask if noon is ok. He's leaving for a business trip right after the pickup). Can you purchase the plywood and just add it to the total costs? We will need it on the drop-off anyway. -John (5/26/2008)
Response: will get wood drop off is 10 than 2 hours from you (5/26/2008)
Response: Not sure I understand your message. You will get the plywood. You will be able to pick the mower up by 10 AM. What does "than 2 hours from you" mean? (5/26/2008)
Question: Is this still needed to ship? We have everything needed to pickup and deliver to you. Please read our feedback. Quick response is necessary for our scheduling our return to home (Knoxville) from New England area. We will bid $585.00. Reply and we will place our bid. Thank you SEC (6/3/2008)
Response: Timing should work well. If you can avoid dropoff between 8:30-12:30 Saturday, June 7th, I will accept your bid. please advise (6/3/2008)
Response: John, I hope that your question was answered,? Thank you, Chester (6/3/2008)
