    It's not me. I saw it on another site.
    I was really wondering how it was possible.
    I still am.

    I just managed to get a peep at your offerings Bonric, and like Huddy says - It's a shame you don't list shipping to UK. There's a very healthy bunch of record collectors over here....and some quite desireable platters in your store!!!


    For those who aren't fussy about filtering what I sell - Take a look at ALL my stuff above. - But for more specific listings, take a peek in the stores below.

    TOY-PALLOI - For all sorts of traditional playthings!

    THE PAPERBOYS PLEASURE - For Books & Magazines

    OUT ON THE FLOOR - For Records - (mainly 1950's - 60's)

    VIEWPOINT - Photographic Equipment

    THE SCRAPYARD - Spare parts for old cars and bikes

    Yep - I can guarantee, that if you listed these items with shipping to UK. I would be bidding on some of them.

    It would be handy to know what condition they are in too.

    PS - I do have an address in USA too, but cannot bid from there.

    Hi Crazy-Jay,
    Love the name!
    I really wan't trying to pulg myself.
    I really am wondering how someone can sell a 45 for .99 and no shipping. I'm kinda new to this and the cheapest (U.S.) shipping I can find is media mail for $2.50-$3.00.
    I will, however, take your advise and look into international shipping as soon as I put up the last 50-70 45's I inherited, (but no player, argh!) They only reason I haven't so far is I have enough trouble trying to figure out the U.S. postage!!
    Thanks so much for your thoughts!

    They aren't making money. I have seen this before and they get frustrated and leave, blaiming the auction site for them losing out. In other words "not very business savy".

    In figuring out postage..do you have a digital postal scale? I have had one for years and it is a wonderful thing. Every few months I have a few packages checked on the USPS scales to see if it is still accurate. So far...right on the money. If you know the weight, then choosing ways to mail are no problem. Also, if you aren't sure what shipping to offer, checking the USPS web site would be a good idea.
