A direct eBay link, presumably with photos, would be helpful as a search on that item # doesn't find anything.

Best wishes.

Here you go, Steve:

Sometimes item searches on eBay will depend on whether you are looking in the right country. It's not on the U.S. site, but is available for export. I wonder what shipping cost would be. Jon C. might like some.

FYI, there is plenty of stuff on eBay France, Australia, and Germany, for instance. They will often only show in a U.S. search if the seller has chosen to allow shipping there. Thus, a lot of auctions might get missed if the shipping terms indicate to contact them for international costs.

I also see people hunting for CDs and books, etc. on Amazon.com, but that are only listed on the site in another country, such as (UK) http://amazon.co.uk/ , (Canada) https://www.amazon.ca . You can still get the item, sometimes even cheaper (although there is shipping cost).

Drifting way off topic here, but I recently ordered a number of CDs from Custy's in Ennis that were markedly less costly than what I could find domestically, even with shipping. Much to my surprise.....

Best wishes.

Hi,
could you ship it royal air to San Diego? How much would that be?
