Zimmerman is planning to hand deliver the painting if it is sold in the continental U.S.A.



Q: We all think a lot of you Zimm and hope the best for you!I may bid on your painting at the last min.How will you ship the picture,can it be picked up local?I would be driving from Arkansas

A: The price it is at now has well exceeded my $.99 minimum; therefore, whoever wins within the Continental United States, will receive this painting delivered by me personally. Your friend,

I just don't see how someone could make that kind of statement without having some reasonable assurance of how this sale will end.

a lot of them are like yours. Mine wasn't as in your face. More slight mockery that he probably didn't get.

Well, that would keep me from bidding -even if I had an ounce of interest in his junk.

The questioner is willing to pay over $100K for that thing but would drive around 1k miles each way instead of fly?

If I were in his position as one of the most notorious men in America, that would be one of the last things I'd do. Why go to some random stranger's house and risk getting killed?
