Looks like a very good starting price, wish I had room for it. But on 
to the real reason for this reply...

DO NOT let anyone ship this printer by way of Watkins Motor Lines 
(Watkins freight, or any other derivative)! No matter what you might 
pay for insurance, they will only pay you 10 cents per pound on any 
used items when they break it (not if they break it). That brought 
$2300 worth of damages to a whopping $32 when they shipped my 9500. 
If you have the original factory packing, then it might not be so 
bad, but I strongly suggest that the buyer find another method. UPS 
and FedEx both have real ground freight services, so they might be a 
better choice. The factory packaging may still be bought from places 
like National Parts (at least last time I checked) or contact Epson 
to see if they can provide suitable containers.

BTW, Watkins is headquartered somewhere in Florida, if ever want to 
drive by and throw rotten eggs at the building, please feel free.
