See if you can get it palletized, If you can offer to palletize it for customer's pick up. That gives you a wider customer base, the problem with having it picked up is that it is very hard to arrange for palletizing it from a distance. It is not that difficult for the buyer to arrange shipping from anywhere in the US if it is on a pallet.

It may surprise ya to know how many people will travel for a day to pick up a machine, I have 3 times so local can be determined several ways to help with your sale. Several things have been on the site here and I have missed or been late to the find, and here in my State so keep this place in mind. Also craigs is a great place to post also a State away is not a big deal for myself or hasn't been.

good luck in your sales or buys

Thanks for the input, Floyd.  I've had a few inquiries locally but they were from people who wanted it for next to nothing.

I don't really mind shipping, but was not up to speed on ways and costs.  I have a much better handle on it now.

Thanks to all

Decide what your bottom price is and mark your local ads with FIRM on the price. That will eliminate some of the tire kickers. Of course it won't stop the Nigerian overpayment with kited check scammers!

Hi Wiz,

Thanks,,, Yep.  Already did the decision on a bottom price.  I always do that anyway .  Don't think I put FIRM on it though.... I just got in from vacation, so will check that tomorrow .

I haven't had to battle the Nigerians lately, but I've had a few "official" Microsoft support folks form Manila call to tell me my PC was in serious trouble and the could fix it.  I couple of them even held on while I "had the FBI start a phone trace on the call".  Talk about being faithful to a script.  Hmm ... I wonder how long they held on after I hung up?

Thanks

Tom
