Haha, Yes but no doubt there are a few in Seattle! I hear you and that is probably sound advice-8 hours is just a lot of time to find this time of year, would be a week or two away for me the soonest- I shipped one bike so far and I have emailed the owner of the powell. I'd go that route again first, it's cheaper than 8 hours of my time when you add in gas, and I get a very good rate with FedEx due to my business- But it's a lot to ask of a seller, to do the whole paypal/ box it thing- Also wouldn't mind picking someone's brain/seeing a local collection.
