Quoted from Kickout:Well I've had two Pinsider's offer to haul the pin. That shows what real Pinsider's are made of. If I have the chance I will do the same for another Pinsider in the future.
Heh, every time I peek at this place it gets dramatically worse. Hang in there OP!
I've done many-a-move for friends and others with a similar premise and it's worked out good as well as being on the buyer end - especially to major hubs like CoinOpWarehouse, etc., it's a great deal, LOTS of people need stuff from there or are planning a trip themselves, and pays for gas or an $100 game to a place I was already going. Especially if I'm already pulling the trailer and have a few extra spots, it really makes a lot of sense several times over and helps offset the extra fuel and toll cost for pulling the trailer.
Hell, if you're a professional shipper this is the exact specific thing that makes you smile, it's like free money and helps somebody out well, if you're already headed that direction. Back when I use to do shipping these types of things were integral to it and I would seek them out even if they weren't super profitable.... they pay the gas for the ENTIRE trip and I'm already passing by with empty spaces on my trailer. It's a given for sure.
The other day we were getting a rare game 8-10 hours round trip from my house... and then obviously without asking the guy tells me he's coincidentally going to an event 30 minutes from my house in Philadelphia the day after, huge difference, and would deliver it completely free of charge *since he was already going there* after we had already negotiated a price based off of pickup (so no secret increase) and I met him there, this happened the other day to us but also many times in my collector history. This worked out great and saved a ton of time and gas money myself and he felt good about being able to shorten the drive for me with no extra effort for him literally at all since he would already be driving there anyways. Makes obvious sense if you're already going somewhere that almost anything else is an easy profit or makes it easier on your buyer especially when you could make a solid connection for the future which is important around here. Had it wrapped up in a tarp and shrink wrap and really put the effort in... which may be harder work in the long run but made him one of my top people to deal with again in the future, which can be a big impact in the wallet for both selling and buying. The game was priced appropriately well and was a great deal.
