G Day Boys!

These clips are not mine, a seller has them here in Argentina.
I can get them sent to Miami USA (a shipping cost that I do not have yet since it would be a person who travels who takes them) and that they are sold by Ebay. What would be the price they would be willing to pay for each clip?
I don't pretend to win anything, just try not to end up in the junk.

Regards

PD:Hanno, if you want, do you want to move this topic to the Carrie section?

Mariano, I have replied. Please note that I am only interested in the ones, part number CTL 3869 as shown in the photos of post #7, of this thread.
For everyone else, I am working with Mariano to see if I can buy the box full and to see just what the price might be to N.Z. It may prove to be way too expensive. We shall see.

Default In reply to Lynn and answer my own question.....

I will make it a personal quest to contact/visit the Argentina Embassy here in Ottawa....must be some Business attache or Import/Export specialist that can provide me some answers.

Can't do anything about some one using EBay prices to gouge international buyers but at some point if it is sold by the ton for pennies for scrap their must be some solution.

From my experience, when selling on Ebay across the border from Canada, the USA Custom agent seemed primarily concerned with "How old is it?" and "Was it originally made in the USA"...... I was selling M 37 parts and mailing from within the USA by UPS. No Charge.

I would hope that similarly, Canadian made GM parts from Oshawa and Windsor, returning to Canada would be exempt when properly documented...... they were quite happy to get them in the first place and cheap in exchange for the good meat/beef sent in trade exchange when the Dutch were starving......or so the story goes!!!!

Nothing risked nothing gained.

Bob C.

Hi Bob
I hope I can find out something, but we are a country where the ambassadors are politicians with no interest in protecting or trading correctly as everyone else does, but to see what slice of money they can get for their personal fortune. We are governed by bureaucratic politicians, corrupt and millionaires like Cuba or Venezuela to give an example. It is very sad what I write but it is the reality. It must be difficult for you to understand what I say.

The tons of spare parts from the second world war that were sold to the foundry, was basically due to the impossibility of exporting them....
