That's a good idea Dennis, I have seen several parts I would have liked to have bid on but that statement got me every time.

That's great to hear Eddie. I know some may be timid in agreeing to such an arrangement, what with all the scams that go on. But I can assure you, I've been a member of this organization for a number of years and I know I have others that will vouch for me.....(maybe..

I'll vouch for you Dennis! This can work both ways. There is always the problem with buying a car over the pond, need some trustworthy soul to give it a look.

With respect to the people on this board, I can't say enough good things. I actually bought my first Alpine sight unseen through this board, from someone I had never met, based upon someone else on the board, who I also never met, looking over the car and giving his opinion. Over the years I have done numerous deals and have yet to have a bad experience.

They could be depending on the item. But hey, some of the shipping costs on eBay are out of this world in my opinion. I bought a set of rocker covers, as you guys call them..., and the shipping was not bad at all.
Thanks for responding. Next time I see an item, maybe you can help me out, and likewise from me.

all sounds good to me Dennis but what if something goes wrong ie not recieving your item, obviously all based on trust then i will be Malcolm in the middle so to speak lol.

I think that one solution to the problem would be to contact the seller before bidding, to persuade him to post to US - offering to pay a premium on the freight charges may help. I understand the apparent reluctance of anyone to act as "middleman" in ebay transactions.
