John from Iowa, i have a really nice clean one, with a freshly milled surface, but I'd hate to say what the postage costs would be.

Allan:
postage on this head from Australia would probably be over $200U.S. ... i had a quote for a linebore unit to Au. for over $320U.S. ... i did not check on the exchange rate for Pacific Peso to U.S. dollar , but i bet the number would scare many people ...Gene French

The huge costs are a result of everything being posted being carried by air. When we had a sea mail option, postage was reasonable. It makes selling things to you guys in the USA difficult. Having you send me stuff is usually prohibitive, because of the unfavourable exchange rate. I have to really want stuff if it has to come this way.

What really gets on my goat is the Ebay shipping charges, Bib overalls can vary from $30 to $90 for the same purchase. Postage across the Pacific is not dependent on post/zip codes of the sender or receiver, so the difference can only be getting the item to Ebay's distribution centre from a US zip code.
