Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hey, thank you for the request. Can you tell me what your target price is for this move? Also, when you would like this done? Thanks and God Bless (2/2/2008)
Response: I am pretty flexible on the dates - pickup anytime this coming week is good, up until early Friday 2/8. I'm flying out to Atlanta on Friday 2/8. Delivery could be anytime between 2/9 and 2/15 (the sooner the better). I have a limited budget as I am a new college grad. Let me know what type of price you have in mind. If it's too expensive I'll be getting rid of some stuff and shipping the books etc by media mail. I can load and unload the truck by myself, and everything is packed and good to go. Thanks! - Dan (2/2/2008)
Response: Is it everything in the photograph I see except for the bed? (2/2/2008)
Response: Yes, everything seen in the TWO photos. The third photo contains a detailed description. The only other thing is the bed. The bed is a twin mattress with a metal frame. The metal frame comes apart. I can leave it behind if room is an issue. (2/2/2008)
Response: No issue at all...I remember graduating too and the struggle so, i'm trying to make a decent bid for you. (2/2/2008)
Response: I appreciate that, I really do. I can load and unload the truck myself, or with the help of a friend of mine. I could probably ship most of my stuff and leave the bed, but it's my musical equipment which I want to be in good hands. (2/2/2008)
Response: Let me check on another bid If I can get it I can try to come down It will help with the fuel costs. I just wish I knew what your budget was....Let me know what you think or what you are working with and pray this other bid comes through. God Bless!! (2/2/2008)
Response: I really appreciate the quick responses. I think the price is in the ballpark, a little lower and we'd be set. I'm a very up-front guy and you can count on my business. Please let me know about the other 2 questions I asked - if it would make any difference if I add one more box and another guitar, and if the bed is included here. Thanks - Dan (I'm working at the computer and reply quickly) (2/2/2008)
Response: Yes, its included in it. No extra, I'm going to N.C. anyway so, better to be half full than empty. We will pack together so you are comfortable with the way things are packed. (2/2/2008)
Question: We will be going to GA,and we can do this for a good price.(gtorn) (2/2/2008)
Response: Please make your best offer. I am just about to finalize a bid right now from jqueensnyc of $565. Please let me know ASAP what your best rate is. -Dan (2/2/2008)
Question: Goodafternoon, I love how you did your inventory list :) , I understand your music instruments being important, both my sons play, one drums and organ, other guitar. they cherish their items. although I can meet your dates for pick and delivery I am unable to do it for the prices that are active bids, we have a semi truck and sometimes (most times) need a shuttle for New York, they have many rules . and the tolls in to the city. we do have a load going to atlanta from out side the city so the dates will work fine. we are also insured as well. Let me know if your budge will allow more and I will get with the driver in the area to see what we can come up with for a price, thanks again for your listing, linda (2/3/2008)
Response: I am not sure I understand. I have no way to get my stuff to "outside the city" and I am looking for the lowest bid right now. Thanks. (2/3/2008)
Question: everone is looking for the "Lowest Bid" (2/3/2008)
Question: Dan, I have retracted my bid. I would rather drive a half loaded truck to atlanta.[removed – unrelated to services offered] (2/3/2008)
Response: Cheapo? No man, rather, I just graduated and have no cash, so I have to try my hardest to get a good deal. It's not terribly unreasonable since I have another bid for 500 with insurance. (2/3/2008)
Response: congradulations on graduating. (2/3/2008)
