Sending pool table...

newmoneysaver_2

Hi guys,

I've got my pool table listed on ebay as I am moving house and can not take it with me.

I have had an email from a guy asking me if I had any ideas of the easiest way to get this to somerset...I'm in manchester...I haven't a clue, but thought someone might know something I don't!

Just to point out, this is a full sized 6ft x 4ft table with slate base, very heavy!

Thanks in advance

He could hire a van for the day? I assume you have put collection only for it.

manchester to somerset is only a 3-4 hour drive at around 220 miles or so

it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper to drive it there yourself if it'll fit in your car, or just hire a van (you're moving, so it would help you anyway ;-) and drive it there, (or, get the buyer to come to you!)

would prolly cost you £40 in van hire, and another £25 in fuel, + time

3 pairs of roller skates should do the trick!

I would like the money up front just in case he hires van/delivers it and the buyer changes their mind etc.

I have a friend who travelled 100 miles to pick up an item he won. When he got to the guys house he told him sorry, I've sold it to a friend of mine. :eek:

I bought an 8' x 4' slate-bed table from Yahoo! auctions a few years ago. Only option was to hire a Transit.
It took four of us just to lift the top!
