How to ship a quad?

[Jester2893]

I am putting my quad on ebay, and I figured I would get more potential buyers if I would ship it. How do I exactly do this? I put shipping is up to the buyer, but what do I do? Do I have to crate it or drop it off somewhere, or does the shipper come to my house and pick up the quad?

Thats the thing I know that there are shipping companies, but do I have to arrange it or does the buyer arrange everything and all I have to do is let the shipping company pick up the quad?

that sounds like it should be discussed with the buyer and the shipping company

I know UPS has a frieght option. But not sure the limitations on that.

I don't think its worth it for people to have it shipped.  Its just too much money for something they can find close by.

True, but if a person is willing to pay the shipping fees. It's not a bad option plus it opens up who your buying crowd is.

I wouldn't buy a quad on ebay because the shipping would be too much.  And I could find one just the same but near by.  And I would be able to go look at it too.  Quads are something you want to see what you're getting first.  But if the seller is willing to pay the shipping fees it might be worth looking into.  But thats not worth it for Jester, I think he could sell it to someone near by for the same price.

Right I understand what you're saying. But. If the buyer is willing to cover shipping fees and stuff it just opens up that many more potential buyers. Sure more than likely someone far away isn't going to buy it because of shipping fees, but there's always those dorks that do..

I would put it as an option.  Keep it at 500 bucks just to cover your butt.  But I don't think there are many of those dorks out there.  They may pay shipping if they get a deal on the quad...but not both.

Thanks for the help guys. Invisible karma for all. I think I will just do local pickup but put somewhere. I MAY consider shipping or something like that.
