Looks like Pat is going to get his bee infested trailer. He posted the
following at 7:49 July 25th in the blog attached to the original link:
I talked to James Nelson 45 minutes ago. He followed up with this e-mail:
Dear Mr. Lewis,
As per our conversation this afternoon, I James L. Nelson II of Nelson RV
will transfer the 2007 Sandpiper 325RG 5th wheel to you in accordance with
your bid on EBay. As agreed, you may have your representative inspect the
vehicle before the transfer.
Thank you for your patience,
James L. Nelson II
Nelson RV
