So now that we ARE getting a truck-load of games,
I figured I'd offer to off-load some of the pick-up logistics
given that Gerry has done so much already.

So..., from what I can tell, the lot consists of 30+ games going to 16 (?) buyers.

As I indicated in another thread, it would be great to help Gerry out
by getting the games as quickly as possible
(... even off the truck if that is logistically possible... )

I guess the first question is to find out how many games
are going to each major city ( T.O., Peterborough, Ottawa, Montreal, etc...),
and from there, to figure out how we can combine shipping for all.

I can possibly offer to get a big 6x12 U-haul trailer
and make a pick-up for the Ottawa region.
(...much of this will be a question of timing... )

If we can get other "delivery volunteers", we might be able to avoid alot of hassles
and extra expenses.

That said, let's use this thread to identify where the games are going,
and who might be able to transport some.

I'll start...

Name : Steph
City : Ottawa
Loot :  2 vids
Transport ( Y / N / Qty ) :   Yes, possibly 6-8 games

I am not getting anything

however, depending on the timing, I may be able to ride down with someone and provide some muscle.

If Gerry needs some help with unloading the machines, depending on the day and the time of the delivery I may be able to offer some assistance with helping to of load all the machines

Well I'll be there to help... just say the word. I live very close to the drop off.

Name:Terry
Location: Toronto
Loot:1 Vid, boxes of boards
Transport: Maybe, for 1 game to about 3 blocks away

I am in the same boat as Terry, except of course I'll probably have to TTC it to the drop off....

Name: Dave
Location: Toronto
Loot: 1 pin 2 vids
Transport: Hahahahahah no.

Pascal

Quebec, Qc

1 pin, 2 vids

If my car is ready, I will be there to help unload and take the stuff, I will rent a trailler and may be able to take 3 to 4 games ( must respect the load limit of my car.

Or if someone from quebec is going and my car is not ready, I will come to help.

Brock

Brampton, ON

4 Vids

I'll be there to help!  But I'll be grabbing my machines and Cooke's as well.

Warren

Thornhill, ON

1 pin

hatchback holds 1 pin

depending on timing and my demanding work schedule, I can offer some muscle/ingenuity offloading and helping load machines. Ideally on a weekend/evening.

Which hatchback?  I've been curious if our Mazda 3 will hold a pin..

Just reviving this thread.

More specifically (..of interest to me anyways...),
is who from the Ottawa region is getting a game.

By the sounds of it, not many...

I only know of Newf who's getting a vid.

I'm just trying to see how we can consolidate transportation.
If it's only me and Newf, we only need a small trailer.
If we've got 8 buyers, we'll need a bigger trailer...

LMK,
Thanks,
Steph

Wife's Matrix holds one pin. Newer machines will go 3/4 in and then we just tie it down.  I recall this discussion from a previous thread. The Mazda might only hold one with head detached (if anything).
