My postie just delivered a near-new stock seat pan I bought for $9 from a bloke on Ebay ( from Woodville WI,wherever that is?) .Postage was only $37 , what a bargain, no-one here (UK I mean) would make that sort of effort for a mere $9(£4.50) profit !

.. Anyone fancy shipping a complete engine over here for me.? ....

Or a whole bike ? ... Wink

Here you go. A geography lesson. Sounds like you got a bargain brother.

I just love google maps.

They're ruining eBay for international orders, those lights are $80 to Canada. I was recently going to buy a seat on eBay and it was going to cost $200 to get it over the border. They just can't be bothered to go to the extra work for an international order.

Got to pick and choose. Bought these and they arrived a couple of days ago. Quoted US$123.00 to freight to Aus. And they are great.
I use this to check the sellers postage rates. Web Page Name

my auntie goes to New york every 6 months. Im thinking of slowly filling her suitcase with bits of metal on each trip. In a few years time she will have enough metal to build the worlds biggest and fastest Catapult!

Then all we need is a giant web here in england to catch the really fast flying Xs 650 bits.

Wheres spiderman when you need him?

seriously, i don't know how some of the sellers make any money with the prices they get for parts............... The genuine ones will give you you the time of day just ask questions, and they don't rack up the postage
