[TenTec] 585 paragon

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Yes, international shipping is getting very expensive.    I have a piece 
of test equipment which I sold via E-Bay.  When I went to ship the 10 
lbs. packed to Brazil I was quoted $285 and that didn't include 
insurance.  WOW needless to say I declined that purchase.

As I am liquidating all of my shop test equipment, now retired from 
radio repair, I will say that I'm getting fair and acceptable prices for 
each piece of equipment but the packing and shipping is killing me.   
Even using the E-Bay estimator and bumping the number 50% doesn't cover 
my costs.   What gives?

Oh well, at least it puts some new $$$ in the ham radio fund. No sense 
in crying over spilled milk........here kitty kitty kitty.

I'll look for some of those screws.
