I've noticed that quite a number of private sellers will only ship to the lower 48 states. This has twarted a couple of my GAS attacks! USPS seems to be about $100 to the U.K which I'm happy to pay.
Is there a big hassle about shipping outside the US (or to Alaska & Hawaii.) Is it just personal preference, or a fear of being ripped off?
It indeed does, and thank god for the ones that arent scared of shipping overseas. I wouldn't own the great gear I do now if it werent for them.
On a sidenote, dont let your hopes down, I've bought/traded 5-6 basses on TB, all of them to americans, and everything always went smoothly and both parties were always satisfied
Good to know that some ship atleast, Ill probably do some buying myself when I get to cash. Beeing a student doesnt leave many other options out then endless gas
For me, it's personal preference and time constraints. I'm a full time college student with a part time job and other obligations. I have no problem with the paperwork, but God forbid anything goes wrong, I wouldn't have the time to deal with it in a timely manner, and I refuse to sell something where I can't provide 100% service.
