Can someone in the States please help me out by bidding on a Wlan card that's on eBay USA and posting it over? Preferably an obssesive eBayer that can snipe it for me  It's only £7 but this particular type are now discontinued and can't find one over here  I can PP the funds straight over.

I don't have snipe, but if you don't mind me bidding the old fashioned way, I am happy to bid on it for you and post it over, let me know you max price and I will try to get it for as little as possible.

Cheers Gary, if you could bid $33USD as late as poss that would be magic Not sure why folks are so reluctant to post overseas, maybe it's differnt in the States but here it's just like domestic post.

It's also very easy here. You just have to fill in an additional customs decleration form.. Some people just can't be arsed with the extra hassle. I will bid on it as late as I dare..

There's nothing in there that says you can't bid, they just wont ship outside the states - just needs to be reposted.

I've tried bidding on stuff before with the intention of having it posted to a US addy and my bid has been cancelled. If you ask nicely some sellers will post overseas but others will just bar you from bidding. Also, sellers sometimes post by surface mail and the item takes 4-6 months to get here. My record for posting out was a fairing I sent to Isreal once that took 8 months - I warned the guy but he just wanted to save a few knicker

If you snipe they have no time to cancel FA  And as far as post goes, the USPS no longer offers surface mail anywhere other than Canada - all overseas mail goes by air - of course the rates no reflect that, even small bits ain't so cheap any longer.

Doesn't look like you'll have to go to $33.00 no bids as of yet and only 20 some odd people are looking.Half are probably people from this forum.
I have an auctionsniper account and haven't used it in awhile.Plus it did have issues last time I tried.Since then,I have built 2 computers so if you'd like I could try it.Plus my post master takes good care of me.

Thanks for the offer but I think it's covered. I don't think/hope it'll get many other bids either, the $33 is to make sure. It's nice to see that not all parts go up in price once obsolete unlike LC stuff

Drewski, I just put $15 on it to stop the seller pulling it at the last minute (as no one has bid on it). Iwill close the bidding this evening.
