What is so hard about getting these items? If I had $135 and I wanted a carribian
clipper then this place sounds better than ebay because there is no way you can be
outbid at the last minute. How come people from the US have not been asking
freinds in argentina and other similar places to get these sets for them:
us friend sends them the money to but it, argineinian buys it for them and then
mails it to the us. What else would someone in the us have to pay on top of the
$135 to get this (other than money paied to the person who is buying it for them,
for their troubles etc) How much would the postage be? Are there any hidden taxes
on top of the $135?
Also to the person who found these, out of interest, how much are the BSB's
selling for?
