I've come to ignore international inquiries. Even if it's not a Nigerian scam which it usually is, the shipping, customs, and insurance will kill the deal.
Anybody with a different experience?
Good luck though. |

| I packed my '07 Fuel 13 with bar only (no bag) into a tiny box and its final weight came to 13lbs. |

| I've sold a couple of kites, bars and various bit of kit to UK, German and other EU buyers no problem. Dollars so weak that used stuff from the US is incredibly cheap to EU buyers. |

Slither,
I have had several good expeiences selling to overseas folks. I made it clear to them that they had to pay all shipping, taxes and duty. Also I would only take Paypal. |

| I always take a load of shit to sell with me when I goto England. Stuff sells like crack because the guys over there are getting such a killer deal and I'm getting more than I would here. If you know anyone going over, have them take it as a carry on and ship it from there. |

yup, so true, you get a lot more for your stuff if you sell it abroad. REALLY!!..which means more money to put into new gear.  The boxer is think was about 15 lb with bar and lines, but I am not sure. I always calculate with 20 lb...
Be careful though, since there are a lot of scam artists out there. For instance will the package only be registered to us borders, and thus you will not know when it arrives.
In many countries there will not be any tax if you mark it a gift and value it low...prolem then is you can;t insure it...but I am not sure if they insure it outside the borders....
