Two quick questions - to both the seller and anyone else reading this thread.

1. - are there any canberra based forum members out there who would be able to collect this engine/loom for me and store it for approx 2 months (I'm heading up north all the way to datsandy's place over the melbourne cup long weekend (unless some major catastrophe/ work issue comes up in which case it'd be late december at the end of year break) ??? Obviously I wouldn't expect anyone to collect and store it for free, so I'd be open to working out a deal that is fair to you for going to such effort).

2, being that it is friday night, I wouldn't be able to do a bank transfer until monday - but the money would be able to be withdrawn the same day (as long as it's a bank with branches in melbourne, I can put a cash deposit in to a local branch and it will clear the same day. If there are no branches down here it'd take a week (roughly) to clear,

So bearing that money transfer issue in mind - and on the basis someone else here could collect and hold onto the motor for a couple of months) - would you be ok with the sale going ahead?

If needed, I can provide a list of people I have dealt with on here recently, who can vouch for the fact I pay money when I say i will and all that.

Feel free to PM me if you'd rather discuss details and see if it is viable and so forth outside of the public access forum areas
