This makes me think, an audio forum I am a member of has organized a relay where people who are traveling volunteer to haul stuff. It seems to work for them. Someone in CA buys something off eBay, one of the members in DC picks it up. Another DC member is going to OH so he carries it there and turns it over to someone who lives there, another member picks it up and takes it to Chicago, etc. It takes a month or so for something to get there that way, but it is free. Old audio gear is usually not oversized, but it is heavy and costs a bunch to ship. Would there be any interest in trying to set up something like that on this forum?
Graywolf...same sized frame I need maybe we can stumble across a couple and get a twofer deal
