Question: can you give me a inventory of what needsto be moved? (5/23/2008)
Response: i dont have a lot of things...2 couches, some small furniture pieces, a large aquarium, queen mattress/box spring. thats pretty much it for the big furniture. i do have a good bit of other things that are already boxed up. this was a shipment from the military that i need to get moved to AZ. so most of its already boxed. i am estimating around 2500-3000 pounds.

Response: your dates are coming up soon..i could do the job..but considering the time i might not be able to find a job to come up that way..i stay in california..so i would have just a few days to try to find something..in order for me to do your job i would have to charge what it would cost me in gas to get there and back to california,which would be around 2500 or 2600..if you could do that i could put in a bid..you could check my profile..im very relaible to a fault (5/23/2008)
Response: i know they are soon. but i am not in an extreme hurry. i just need it done within the next few weeks. so you have some time to see if you can find another job. i would prefer it picked up by next friday if possible. if you cant find another job, its ok. i wouldnt ask someone to drive cross country for no profit. i have in and out moving services that say they can do it. but you contacted be first so i will give ya a lil time to find another job.

Response: from your description it sounds like you would take up the space of about a 14 ft medium uhaul..do you think you have more stuff than would take up that space (5/23/2008)
Response: well, i do have some furniture that is broken down already in to just boards. there is a desk, an ent center (cheap one), an aquarium stand (about 4 foot long but is broken down, and some small end tables and a coffee table. i really dont think it would take more than a 14 footer. especially if you arrange the boxes that are prepacked good. i will get with the person that is watching my stuff and confirm about how much space is needed. (5/23/2008)
Response: ok last thing..what times are you usually on the computer to check emails cause timing is the key i might find someone and you might not be on..so i would tell them a time i would know for sure i could put in a bid..i have to have contact with both of you at the same time to confirm you both would accept right then and there in order to be able to do the move.i hope you understand what im saying..its harder to explain on the computer.if you was moving a month from now i could have enough time (5/23/2008)
Response: i am always checking my email. i am around the pc constantly. dont worry, i wont accept anyone elses offer prior to yours being submitted.
john (5/23/2008)
Response: i got a very small load that could move..its only a stove and some boxes,,basically if i do that move and if you can do 2000..that would pay for my gas there and back..than i would be searching 24 -7 trying to find something else to go up there so i could make some money..either way i would be there to do your move..im very reliable (5/23/2008)
Response: really, if you wanna wait thats fine. i am not gonna accept anyone elses offer before we can/cant come to terms. i am looking for the 1700-1800 range therefore if you need a lil more time to make schedule some more moves in order to make it a lil cheaper thats fine. in dont mind the wait. you contacted me first and have been the only person to work with me. it doesnt have to happen monday next week (26th). just a pickup by next friday would be good. i have a guy who is holding my stuff for me there. he has a special power of attorney to ship my goods. i will continuously check for messages.
john (5/23/2008)
Response: and by friday the 30th is the latest date? (5/23/2008)
Response: yes. that would be my latest date. i just got an offer for 1650. but, i can wait to see if you can get anywhere closer. their quote is good for ten days. i just dont want to waste your time. from your feedback you seem to be a really busy person and extremely reliable. i would rather go with you if you can come close to that price. even if you can manage 1750 i would still pay the extra 100 for you just because i see your feedback is great. take care. i will keep looking.
john (5/23/2008)
Response: is there another site like this i dont know about..if so let me know..theres no bid for 1650 on here so i assume you got that on another site..anyway..all i got to say is be careful who ever you choose cause feedback on here is the biggest key,,you have to do your homework..alot of people are unreliable and scam artist..so even if i dont move you and you get a higher bid from someone reliable and from someone else that might not be..its. best to pay a lil more for reliablitity and piece of mind!!..if i dont find something within the next couple of days i couldnt do it..for the 1750..but if you find someone reliable that can do it,,go ahead and accept ..i would understand.. (5/23/2008)
Response: also...my friend who has my things is saying a 14 footer might be pushin it...but close...

Question: we could do this for 1800.00 thanks (5/26/2008)
Response: 1800 sounds perfect. there is a lot of stuff but shouldnt total any more than 3500 pounds. i havent seen this stuff since i went to south korea to serve a military tour for 1 and 1/2 years. therefore, i am not exactly sure what is in it. however, everything that can be boxed is already boxed. i will need full service loading. i can help with the unloading. when can you pick it up? i would prefer it as soon as possible due to the fact that i just moved into my house and would like to have my things. also, how long will it take you to get it here? one more thing. i have cash here at my place. would you like for me to mail the payment to the origin or will you accept it at the destination? let me know your specifics and we can set a date. thanks! i'm excited! (5/26/2008)
Response: we can pick up this week and deliver in 5 to 6 days we need a small dep via paypal then cash on delivery (5/26/2008)
Response: ok. just give me a date so i can let the person know who is watching it for me to make sure he is there. 200 good for the deposit? (5/26/2008)
Response: i can be in mi the 29th (5/26/2008)
Response: o 200 dep is fine (5/26/2008)
Response: what size van is that? the guys that has my stuff says it might be cutting it close on a 14 foot uhaul....just a heads up...u still good with the move? (5/26/2008)
Response: this 185.00 is for this service (5/26/2008)
Response: it says the 185 goes to you and i pay you the balance. so you want another 200 on top of that?
the van and trailer will for sure do it! i just saw you showed van for truck type so i just wanted to be sure.
let me know if i am mistaken because the way the site reads says i pay you the remainder after the 185.
