Any facilitators in Alabama (or Florida panhandle)??

Hi,

I've found a bike in southern Alabama that something that I have been looking for, however, it's in Alabama! That's a bit far for me.

If you are in the area, or even near the panhandle of Florida, and would consider facilitating a bike purchase please send me a PM.

As a side not, I am in no hurry on this purchase, so even if it took a few weeks for us to facilitate it, I would not mind. The purchase itself, obviously, is a little more time sensitive.

Thank you!

If not Alabama or the Florida panhandle (Tallahassee!?), western Georgia could work too...

As an FYI, this one fell through so I'm still on the hunt for someone within the area.

Just out of curiosity, are there any bike shops in the area where the bike is located? If so, you might be able to persuade the seller to sell to you even though you're not local assuming they would accept payment via PayPal. After that, just have them drop it off at their local bike shop for packing for shipment ($25-35 fee) and use FedEx to issue a Ground call tag to pick it up.

I bought my last two Panasonics from opposite ends of the country using this very method... no facilitator needed. Worth a try if it is something you just gotta have.

ZeRinger - Brilliant. I completely forgot about that method.

Thanks for the suggestion!
