When you want one, you just can't find one...

Anyway, this guy didn't want to post, or even let a freight guy pick it up.

(I'm putting it here cos its already sold)

A local option, but obviously the Sydney-Canberra exchange rate is a bit different...

I really can't work out some peoples train of thought with not willing to post OS, cause they get their money before they post it so what is the big deal?
Mick just keep trying because I have had some extremely helpful sellers in the past from the UK.

Most UK sellers don't want to post as there's is a 2kg limit on the post system, anything higher has to go through private freight companies, falls into the too hard basket.
