Scat small block H beam rods

On Sunday I sent this PM to the OP:
"$400 shipped?
If not shipping cost to 54401 Wausau Wis please

Thanks
Have a good Sunday
Bob"

On Tuesday I received a highly informative and detailed response of "Ok"....
Always try to take the high road in less than clear matters such as this... So I'm assuming the seller is either on a trans-continental cruise and has limited cell coverage (possibly is being blocked by N. Korea) or is being extra diligent in analyzing the most efficient and cost effective shipping medium.

I was unaware that the seller tentatively accepted your offer or was exploring cost effective shipping since there were not any additional posts to that effect. So I went ahead with my offer.
I received a PM reply from the seller yesterday advising there was a previous offer and that I was 2nd in line.
I haven't heard anything further from the seller.
