only think that worries me is some guy in the suv takes a liking to
it and "opps" he says " someone took it when I was in the
restaurant!"

Thanks Cory,
I listed it with UShip, and will wait to see what happens.
This was a great idea, I never heard of such a 'crowd-sourced' shipping
service before.

Randy,
One option might be UShip. These are best transported laying down once
the paper
and tape spindles are removed and preferably, that shipping screws
anchor down the chassis (though I have moved them without). With UShip,
you set an asking price with parameters, such as blanket wrap, or covered
shipping. Everyone from professionals to those with room to spare in their SUV
can then ask questions, accept the terms, or counter-offer. They don't get
paid until you've received the item and are satisfied. With items like
this, I almost prefer a private individual rather than a professional (bulk)
mover. -C
