Response: This auction ends on 4/10 not sure what time. The 4/13 could be an option. The seller will need a specific pick up time and date. Would you service include preparing this item for transport and loading. The item is not currently palletized or crated. Would it need to be if not how will it be protected. Does this cost include insurance on the item? If so how much and is there a deductible? Thank you, Jody (4/7/2009)

Response: The specific pick up date of 4/13 can be locked in tomorrow. I have to check with the client that has the Philadelphia freight first. As for a specific time, probably not too specific. 12-3, 3-6 ect, I wouldnt mind having to wait if they needed it picked up after work. There isnt much needed to transport it, the trucks have 6' x 7' liftgates, the loading is easy. No palletizing either, it will be secured using load straps to the E-Track system in the truck. The truck would be empty, so nothing else would be with it. Standard insurance is for up to $500, included in the cost. Since this a used mower, the insurance is specific to damage occurring due to shipping only. We take pictures of EVERYTHING before the freight is loaded so that there are no discrepancies about it's condition. I will submit a bid tomorrow if Monday will work with my client. If not, I will at least let you know and you can pursue another carrier. Thanks (4/7/2009)

Response: If you are able to bid this, then I could finalize a time with the seller. I would think that 3-6 would work but will have to make sure. $500 insurance should suffice of the truck is empty. My only concern is that this will not cover full replacement cost of the mower, but w/ an empty truck there should be no damage sustained in transit. The price and timeframe are perfect, hopefully you are able to submit this bid. Thank you, Jody (4/8/2009)

Response: I will get back to you this evening with a definite schedule and answer. Thanks again (4/8/2009)

Response: I am about 15-20 minutes from Rouse's Point. I have not yet won the auction. I will let you know when I find out. Thank you, Jody (4/11/2009)

Response: Hi Jodi and thanks for writing me, if you do win the Mower and need me to do this let me know and I would be glad to do this for you. I am from Upstate NY so I know the area well. Tony (4/11/2009)

Response: The mower is up for auction again. What kind of deal can you offer, and when are you headed this way? (4/13/2009)

Response: $250 picked up and delivered on Thursday. (4/13/2009)

Response: Your original message offered delivery for $240. Why the increase? What is your best offer? The reason that I ask is the auction does not end until Friday. However there is a buy it now option, but that is $200 more than the reserve. My goal is to get the mower for the lowest total cost in the least amount of time. I'm trying to low ball you; I'm just trying to weigh my options and make the best economic decision (4/13/2009)

Response: You're right, it was $240. I'll rebid for that amount. I thought I quoted $250, I apologize for the inconvenience. (4/13/2009)

Response: Is the time of pick up still the same? Thursday? What time do you anticipate picking up the item so that I can let the seller know? Thanks, Jody (4/14/2009)

Response: Pick up will be Thursday morning. (4/14/2009)

Response: If I can arrange an 8AM pickup, how soon would you need to know? I am still waiting to hear back from the seller. Thanks, Jody (4/15/2009)

Response: I will place a bid for you, I will need to know by 5:30 am eastern time. That is what time I will be leaving. My bid will expire at 5:30am- IT WILL SAY 4:30 ON THE USHIP SITE!!!!! That is because they use Central time!!!! I lost a job last week because the shipper was confused about that-which is why I'm explaining it here. The sooner you will know, the better. If this can be shipped, and you accept my bid, please call me ASAP-you will have access to my contact info from uship upon accepting bid. It doesn't matter what time of day or night. Please call me to let me know, if I miss the call, please leave a message. Thank you! (4/15/2009)

Response: As of right now it doen't look like I will be able to arrange a pick up @ 8 AM. I want to thank you for your quick response and I will let you know if I win the item and still need it shipped. Thank you, Jody (4/15/2009)

Response: No problem. It looks like I'll be in the area until 9am. I will rebid with expiration at 9am eastern time, should anything change, just accept bid and call. (4/15/2009)
