Parental migration
« on: September 30, 2012, 01:57:16 PM »
They're closing 10/15, possession 10/18. Horrific timing as far as I'm concerned (I have to work friday-saturday at least and have already agreed to) but I guess it's set.

They're getting prices from pod people tomorrow since they'll be staying here for at least a month or three while looking for a place here. Going to see how that compares to potentially getting a trailer to move and store things in. Either something buggy-hauler sized, or something to just sell when done with it for little to no loss, as opposed to whatever shipping would be plus $200-something/mo and no-access storage for those pods.

Guess I'll know more Tuesday.

Might be looking for a parking spot for the winter for it. Or I might just (put up a fence and?) park it along the hedge row here. Things to think about.

Want to get the Nissan gone an tdi out of the garage too. I'm inheriting a pile of tools. Hmm

Yea. Buy an enclosed. Sell it when done. A 24' bumper pull should be about $3500 for a decent one.

Nice Ryan, thanks.

Only price they have so far is the ABF you-pack. They do $2/mi transport, and $400/mo storage. So that's pretty well guaranteed to be 3 grand with zero recoupment.

racingjunk has some fixer uppers in the 3500 range and lots of really nice name brand newer ones around 4800 (which seems nearly silly since the GA and MS manuf's sell em new for 5k). Mostly OH for the ones that are in reach. One outside Buffalo and one near MSP that are on the higher end of things, but it would be nice not to try and bank on picking something up on the way there.

dad's gonna give this guy a shout

asking price might be a little high but it sounds like it's nicely fitted for resale.

'06 showroom condition Haulmark is in their driveway. I think it's a 24 x 8.5 7k v-nose tag but I'm not certain on details. It belonged to a friend of a neighbor, local to them. He was asking 6500, Paid 5k. Maybe high but it was the ONLY local option out there either of us could find. The one on RJ there was asking 4850 and the guy decided not to sell, the one in buffalo ny never got back to me. All the rest I liked were in OH/ MI/ IL.
