Question: Hi, I would like to bid, but first I need to know your timeframe for shipping her. Thank You! (5/28/2009)
Response: Anytime between June 4-16 would be ok,Greig (5/28/2009)
Response: Hi Greg, Thanks for the fast responce! Do you already own her? Are you in a position to commit to a carrier? The reason I ask is, I need to be in Washington State on the 14th to load a sail coming back to Florida, and being we are two weeks away, I am looking for the sure thing to move out there! We are fully Usdot compliant! We are NOT boat hauling brokers! I would personally transport and care for you boat! The rate would be competitive with the bids you have! It just comes down to who you feel the most comfortable moving your boat! Please let me know. Thank You! (5/28/2009)
Response: I will own the boat on June 2nd,already have deposit on her.You could pick up anytime after June 4th(i have to check with yard to decommision)Can you wait to June 2?If you are truly competitive that would make it yours!Greig (5/28/2009)
Response: Hey Greg, If it was ok with you, I would like to load her on Monday June 8th, this would give you ample time to schedule the stepping of the mast and what ever other preparations that are needed. It would also give me enough time to make it to Washington withour rushing! There is a chance for me to load her on Friday June 5th, but, I am on my way to Novia Scotia with a large sail, and I am not to sure if I will make it back in time! Before you had other bids, I was going to offer $9800.00 to move her. It would Inculde all permits, and Insurance and I also shrink wrap the mast prior to it being put on the outriggers under the boat! I will also go through the entire boat to make sure that whoever prepared her for transport has done a thorough job. The rate may not be as cometitive as you hoped, but the service is above and beyond!Please let me know what I need to do to make this work! Thanks, Rich (5/28/2009)
Response: Well,the other bidders are at 8900 so you are too high..this is an old boat and bargain priced so must everything else be on this deal..it would work at $8000,Greig (5/28/2009)
Response: Hey Greg, Maybe I didn't explain myself the right way, I meant I would match the $8900.00! Will that get this booked? (5/28/2009)
Response: If you can do it for $8000 you can have it... (5/28/2009)
Response: He Greg, whatever you posted was flagged by Uship! So, I don't know what your responce said! (5/28/2009)
Question: Hi Greg, I had asked you if you would meet in the middle and accept a bid of $8400.00? For some reason it did not show up! (5/28/2009)
Response: bidding is now under $8000... (5/29/2009)
Response: Good morning! I see your low bid! I don't know if price is more Important then reputation or not! If I give you the $8k bid, will you accept, or, are you going to see if you can do better? (5/29/2009)
