Hey Michelle
I’ve had a ton of people inquiring on the machine. Management won’t let take time off unless I give 48-hour notice. I’d rather not have my mother deal with this sale. As I said, she’s not in good health and she’s in her 70s. If you want it delivered, I can borrow a trailer from a friend—you’ll need to cover the gas, I'd say around $200.

We should use eBay; they’ll hold the deposit so you can inspect the machine and the paperwork. Once you’ve had time to do this, you call them back and have them release the money. Or, you can ask for a refund. I’d like to use them because I had a guy just not show up last week, after expressing huge interest.

I have personal experience with eBay. I used them last year when I bought a fishing boat. The boat got delivered to my house, I was able to inspect it and take it out, and then I called eBay and they released the funds.

If all that sounds okay and you’d like to move forward, send me the buyer’s full name, address, and phone. I can get things started and eBay can take you through the rest of the process.

Thanks.
