Subject: RE: BS: Arrogant Americans on ebay
I'm learning as I go, and expanding my offerings as I figure out what is doable. I can envision limiting some sales to the continental U.S. for the reason you state--that it would simply be too difficult to ship out of the country.

Case in point--I have an antique Brown (Grisly) bear rug, head and claws and all. Old, kind of dusty, never used (stored in a cedar box), in great shape. But not necessarily easy to send out of the country. It was shot/made nearly 100 years ago, so the process for tanning may be an issue (did they use anything toxic?). I'd like to sell this thing, I never use it. My great uncle brought it back from Alaska when he was there in 1912, or ordered it soon thereafter. eBay doesn't handle many of these, so research is difficult. They go for $8-10 thousand new and big, but who knows about antique?

My research is cut out for me on this!
