Hi Bob, > We just talked about a A*85/1.4 that went for over $1,100. > This one sold the same day for $438 ! > > All because the seller restricted his market to Germany. > Tell me why he did this?????
I know the seller personally, and can tell you why he did this. Simply because it is too much hassle to deal with international transactions. I do it on the KMP, and see how many explanations and conditions I need to put (http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/for_sale/). It is difficult and expensive to receive playment from outside the EU, and there is no way to insure packages that go to the USA. So, how likely is it that someone will send $1000 to an unknown person in Germany, and wait for an uninsured package worth $1000 to come back? I sold some items recently, and some of them went to the USA. The average transaction took about 20 days. I have lived in the USA, and know about personal checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, money orders, etc. But most buyers in Germany are not aware or not willing to deal with all this hassle. > I see many Pentax bargains on German Ebay. > I wish that I had an easy way to pay from the USA. > Any suggestions?
