Blimey Jim, you're a patient man! To be fair most individual sellers are happy enough to ship abroad if you ask them, it's the bigger dealers who seem to have rules carved in granite tablets...

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.

I'm in the UK and am often frustrated when a nice piece of kit is offered
for sale on the 'bay by dealers in the US who won't ship overseas.  I've
been looking for an HP 5370B and have lost out on a few nice looking units
because of this.  There's one sitting there just now just to tease me!

Is there anyone on the list who'd be willing to act as an intermediary
(take delivery and resend) to circumvent this?

I'd certainly be prepared to help in a similar manner any stateside
time-nut frustrated at EU sellers who won't ship outside Europe (could help
reduce customs fees as well by marking as returned from repair  etc.)

Regards - JM
