 JE> Greg, I once was going to send some used memory chips to Canada. Ended

You should NEVER try to balance one part of the cost against
another part. The TOTAL is the only figure that counts.

Here is an example: Would you pay $25 to repair something that
cost you $5?

I did on one occasion and finished up with an item that was as
good as brand new, which would have cost me about $400 to buy.

I would never have considered buying it at that price, but it has
given me a lot more "worth" than the $30 it cost me.

 JE> Don't get me wrong. I'd have absolutely no objection to doing business
 JE> there - except for the excess costs as compared to here.

If you can get the goods locally and at the right price, go for
it.

I was only offering the Aus source as another source FWIW.
