AK to NJ will be expensive. May not justify the cost of shipping. So it does depend on certain factors if it makes sense to buy/sell at a distance (even inside the lower-48). 73, Ed - KL7UW From: Don Wilhelm To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] FS: K3/100, P3, KPA500,

I thought I would add my .02 cents worth. I have run into this problem several times and never argued the fact with the seller. In most cases, I would pass onto the seller that I wanted it shipped to the factory or service center in the US, this way the seller doesn't have any other paperwork to

Over the years I have sold a lot of ham gear on-line. I always stipulated lower-48 only and stuck to it. It was easier and more cost effective for me (the seller) and was my choice. That last part is very important - "was my choice." I see no reason to drag Arlene over the coals for making tha

You can pay by PayPal in US dollars and even add the commission fee if the seller requests. Who gets eaten alive by currency conversion is the buyer, not the seller. With PayPal you have the same recourse regardless of the location of the buyer. And of course you can ask for payment in advance

Vic, mostly it depends on where the item(s) are being sent to. I’ve been selling on eBay for over 12 years, and I DO ship overseas. However, when it comes to something really expensive, I opt not to do that for certain countries. There are parts of the world that have a very, very bad reputation

I'm not being critical of Arlen (or anyone), but why do so many people selling equipment not want to ship it overseas? If the buyer pays the actual shipping cost, then the only difference is the single customs declaration the seller has to fill out, which takes about 2 minutes. Payment can be m
