Cool! A little polishing and a crown will bring that one back to life.

 

If it were something I absolutely must have, I'd get an American I trust to buy it and front him the cash + remailing along with a tip (nothing major, just enough for a bottle of bottom shelf rum or bourbon depending on whether or not he's a Kentuckian).

Also when asking I do it something like this:

If the seller is from Texas or Alabama, mention that you've hunted a saltwater croc with a .303. The more G'days, Dunnys, Blokes, and barbecued shrimp you mention the more willing they'll be, works every time on Americans.

 

Sorry about that. Many Americans on eBay simply don't want to deal with the hassle of customs paperwork and extra postage when chances are there will be a buyer in the USA. The reality is that I've had more problems with the USPS deliveries than with any foreign post office. Deliveries from Canada sometimes take longer than deliveries from China.

Highly doubtful that he will change his mind, but you can try.

I hate that... Who even sets that option if they're trying to sell something?

 

Yea I know what you mean, you can't make an offer, or arrange shipping options. I tried to make an offer to buy an 14K BoR bracelet off a guy that had it attached to a badly redialed Constellation that was just complete junk, but I couldn't offer to buy the bracelet without the shitty watch attached to it.
