[time-nuts] US ebay sellers who won't ship outside the US

[Jim Palfreyman]

John,

I had the same problem from Australia. And when they did ship the postage
would be more than the unit! I had to wait and wait and wait. Finally (after
years) a good seller who packed well, priced well put one up and I won.

Even if no one takes up your offer - if you do wait one will turn up.

It's even worth asking them if they say not outside the US. Some don't offer
because they think no one would pay $100 for postage - when in fact we
would.

Jim
