He was the highest bidder, the shipping ++ was only slightly higher than it would have been within the US, and the sale ++ went flawlessly. Interesting, how did the purchaser manage to get money to you? I understood that it's remarkably expensive in the USA to receive non-US-Dollar money from abroad. Could I have sent you a cheque drawn on a British bank? ++ > It's not too much to ask is it ... ? ++ Yes. No, not if the vendor is prepared to accept either Visa or international money orders --- or if the software/hardware is supported in the destination country.
