Any problems selling equipment outside of USA?

I just sold a set of speakers to someone in Italy and it was another flawless transaction, except for the time it took for them to recieve it- everything was typical. They had dealt with international sales/purchasing before so it was very easy for everyone. I even said in my ad "prefer local sale" it doesn't get any further from local than that! Good luck with your transaction, as long as both parties have good feedback and are patient it shoudl be a piece of cake(and a learning experience to boot). ~Tim

I have sold to Europe, Canada, Guam, Korea and Japan. No problems ever. People are either honest or not, nationality is not the reason.

I've done it several times, but the only way I've done it is to ask for a funds wire transfer to my bank account for the agreed-upon amount before shipping. The first time worked perfectly (Hong Kong) and the second was going beautifully until FedEx shipped the package to the Phillippines instead of Korea and delivered it to someone, but obviously not the buyer. Still trying to unravel that one!

For private party, after the deal is finalized,the best way to handle the transaction is to have the buyer wire money to your bank before sending the amp.

I live in United Arab Emirates and have bought and sold many things on Audiogon sometimes to/from the US and others to Europe. No problems, the same rules apply. Sometimes sellers worry about customs. You see the customs are the responsibility of the buyer. So the most that you would do in enclose an invoice describing the item and the market price for it. And if you want to help the buyer reduce the cost of customs you should reduce that value.
