Question: What time frame are you looking at for delivery? (1/5/2009)
Response: Dear Shipper,
If I purchase the tractor this week, then you will be able to pick up within a day or two. Please note, I have not purchased this yet.

Response: Hi Ted, I am taking a load to FL, leaving here sometime this weekend, I am going to visit my uncles in FL for a week or so, depends how long we can all put up with one another, and would p/u the tractor on the 25th if possible being a Sunday, and then deliver to you within 2 days, depends how many other drops I have along the way. Trying to put together a few more things. Thanks and let me know, Mike (1/5/2009)
Response: You forgot to give me a price....... Ted (1/6/2009)
Response: I can run it up to you for $535, how soon are you going to be deciding on a provider? Thanks, Mike (1/6/2009)
Response: I will know by this Friday..........
Ted (1/6/2009)
Response: Sounds good, I will wait your reply and decision. Thank You, Mike (1/6/2009)
Response: Mike,
The Implement dealer is open Saturdays from 8-12, closed Sundays, and opens Monday at 8AM. If this works for you, I will go ahead and accept your bid. Sundays are a NO-GO.
Please let me know.

Response: I was wondering about the Sunday p/u working or not. That will put us on the road an extra night, Let me work out a few more details on that. I'll try to be on here most of Sat, if you post a question on the "bidding details", uship contacts me and tells me you have a question and I can get right back to you. Thanks (1/9/2009)
Response: Mike.
The John Deere dealer said that they don't work on Sunday, I can contact him on Monday, and let you know. Otherwise, I don't know what to do.
Ted (1/10/2009)
Response: Hi Ted, I am still trying to work out the details, I am thinking we can leave FL a day early and then p/u on Sat, it might be kinda tight on time but its doable. I have quite a bit I am doing today to get ready so let me toss it around a bit more but I think I will put in the rebid and we'll get it done for you. Email you back in a bit. I'll try to be back to you by 6:30 CST tonight(Sat) Thanks (1/10/2009)
Question: Hi Ted, I am trying to secure a couple of other loads that will make it worthwhile buying the trailer I am going to haul the tractor on. I hope to hear soon, if I can secure either one of the loads I will submit the bid for $535 and I can either p/u on Sat or I will wait for the following Monday. Thanks (1/10/2009)
Response: Mike,
Since your second bid expired, I can't accept the bid, uShip won't let me accept it. Please re-submit so I can accept your bid.
Thanks,
Ted (1/11/2009)
Response: Hi Ted, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you any sooner, we are en route to FL. I still have not been able to get either one of the other loads to go with yours. I'd really like to haul your tractor but with just your tractor I can't justify buying the trailer. I was working on one other load and using his trailer to put yours on but haven't been contacted back yet. You have some pretty good offers so its up to you if you'd like to give me a couple more days to try to tie the other loose ends down. I'll look for a response back in a few hours when I get to Choo Choo. Once again, sorry. Mike (1/12/2009)
Response: Mike,
I totally understand. I will need to know by Friday morning, Jan 16th, 9AM CST. That will give you a bit more time, and I'll get this tractor moved.
Please let me know if this works.
Ted (1/12/2009)
Response: Thank You Ted. I keep in touch, Mike (1/12/2009)
Question: Good morning Ted, I found a trailer at a decent price, but I don't know if its wide enough for the mower. I'll check the listing back today, if I don't hear from you I'll do a little more research myself on it. The one I found is 6 1/2 wide. Later Mike (1/15/2009)
Response: Mike,
I believe that the tractor is 63" wide, because the mower is 60".
