This is exactly what i need. I have that boat 88 capri 1950 and am about to do the interior but im in california. too bad it's so far, im not sure how to arrange shipping.
I'd call UPS, FEDEX, local couriers in tampa. see what they all say. email the seller, see if he is willing to drop it off at a UPS store(see if they'll box it up). it will cost you some tall coin but let him know who you will be bidding as and your going for the win by over 50 bucks on those conditions. might be all the hook he needs.
best of luck

Yep i emailed the seller and he said he would work with me, then i emailed for more detailed info on the items and he gave me a sketchy answer. Then 2 hours later about 24hr till the end of auction it was deleted and the member was also deleted so it looks as if it was a scam.
A little funny, I saw that posting last night and thought to myself "That is hardly professionally done, and definitely not a $3500 job. It looks like he staples his own together and sells it as 'professional overstock'". Guess I was being too easy on him if it was a scam.

... ya the ol adage might certainly apply, and glad no one got roped on my post. but last i saw it was like at $100. what does e-bay do to users who pull a listing refusing to make a sale on items they post? assuming no scam involved.
