I found the minimum bid makes a big difference whether the offer gets picked up. It works like a reverse auction, so give the trucker enough margin.

In the M151A2 purchase, the first successful bidder backed out at the last minute. The deal sat idle for a month when I relisted. That shipper picked up and brought the Jeep from west of Edmonton to Ottawa. He also shook me down for another $500 off the books because of fees the company charges.
