Hi,
I tried that once. Walked into a bank and said 'Gimme a sackful of
cash and no hassle'. Now my CV's got a 15-year hole in it, but I can
sure as hell sew sacks...

Shel,
Walk up to the bank and ask Sidney to give me a sack full of cash. I'll provide my
shipping address.
Thanks,

The bank I use is a local, family-owned bank. That's what makes it such
a pleasure. It's not one of the big banks. Until recently they only
had about five or six branches, but they've expanded as the communities
they serve grew. Nonetheless, it's always service with a smile, and I

Hi Stan ...
Maybe you need a new bank .
My bank is pretty much the opposite. If I have a minimum average
balance in the account, I'm reimbursed fees charged by "foreign" ATM
machines, up to five transactions per month. There's no extra fee for
using the debit card, which can also be used as a c

The same reason that my bank here in the UK charges me
pack it separately, as I figure
that the unit stands a better chance of getting here that way!

A similar incident happened to me. Won an auction for a camera in Germany.
Spent $120 to bring a $75 to the US.
Never again.

Wendy,
I sure don't fathom the European banking system. Here in the US, we
send you a check and in 2 or 3 days the amount is in your account. (There is
a Federal Reserve banking system which 'clears' the checks between banks.)
Everybody but the lowest income households have checking

Having been a banker, I can tell you, if someone asks for a Wire Transfer, unless it
is for a large sum of money (i.e. $500 or more), don't bother sending it and just send
an international money order in the funds that the person is requesting.
Wire transfer fees are outrageous from the senders
Hi,

I think I outsmarted myself here.
I found a lens on German eBay.
The price was good,
but the seller would ship to Germany only.
So I contacted him.
My German is no good (thru Babblefish translations),
but on previous bids, many Germans spoke English.
He did not, but allowed me to bid.
So I wo
