Last summer I coordinated a few bike shipments, Two were for a buddy who was moving back to Australia and taking his bikes with him (RI to Baltimore, $370ea) and another when I bought my current track bike project (NJ to RI $300). I paid for the bike via paypal and handled the paperwork via mail and it worked for me but I'm sure somebody here had less luck. The had a small open trailer that barely fit the bikes but it got the job done and saved me a lot of driving and diesel.
I also had a co-worker just pick up a Harley out of daytona and the major shippers came out to nearly the same price as the smaller local guys coming back from bike week. He told me it was $300 to ship from daytona but I don't know if that was a real number or guesstimate. I'm also sure the fact that there are a ton of shippers already coming this direction after Daytona helped the cost a little.
