Oh My Greyhound!!! I want that so badly! A road trip to New Jersey is out of the question. I wonder if they would ship it. It's a 2 mo. listing but I emailed them just in case. Absolutely eye candy!! Thanks Steve for spotting it!!! Ooops I drooled on the keyboard.

I made an offer!!!! Hopefully they will be able to get USPS Select Parcel shipping otherwise the shipping costs are prohibitive, but less than the cost of an airline ticket to get it. I'll keep you posted!!

I think if you want their best cooperation in pkg I for one wouldn't offer less than the $100. Sometimes you get what you pay for. Just sayin'

I agree - I'm looking at a machine they are asking $15 for, and figure I wouldn't offer less than $75 to have it shipped, and I'd also let them know what I expect for packing. I've had good luck when I talk to sellers before bidding. I'm very leary of trying to work a deal for shipping outside of eBay (or Goodwill online). With eBay if nothing ever shows up, the Buyer Protection will refund my money. Not sure how Goodwill works -

The offer is full price + what I researched as available shipping prices. I listed tips for good shipping practices & he replied that he has experience shipping antiques. Even though the listing is 2 mo. old, I think I made a fair offer. He was going to check the shipping rate on his end. With any thing, I can always live without it. I'll still be looking for more greyhounds.
