Just a quick update, I had not thought of Greyhound but their limit is
100lbs :( The guy shipping it is being nice and packing it up on a
crate and willing to drive it to a local freight terminal but that is
all, not willing to help beyond that and I can kind of understand it as
it takes time to do more.
I can't seem to find better rates then about $300, I just thought
since the last Calif. guy interested quoted $150 I could do the same.
Yeah, even with that shipping its still cheaper than buying one new but
its more than I can get a equivalent locally if/when a used one goes up.
Still trying but giving up slowly.
Thanks for the replies, I have some feelers out there and waiting
for "official" quotes.
