Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia?


Hi all!

I may have a buyer for my PBN speakers in Russia.  What do I need to do to make sure I'm not scammed?

Stay away from this sale. If it were an IC, then fine. Speakers are a whole different story. Too many chances for damage and then what? Oh my stay away.
Right now s/he was asking how much it would cost for shipping.  I contacted 3 shippers and have only heard from one so far (DHL).  They only deal with businesses; not individuals.

I can easily imagine the cost would be double - triple what it would cost in the continental United States.  That will probably scare the potential buyer away.  Those PBN EPS-2 speakers are big and heavy.

Anyway, thanks for the excellent advice!

And no, it's not Vladimir P.  Ay ay ay you guys!  ;-)
I wouldn't sell anything like this outside of the US or  Canada....I worked in international household goods moving for over 10 years.  Every shipment to Russia was a nightmare.  For a while the government was taxing every item coming in.  A small 5 cubic meter shipment was costing thousands in import duties and the items were not worth much more than this.
Let me chime in - it will be almost impossible for you to ship the EPS2 to Russia. We ship there frequently,  its always very cumbersome and most shipments go through intermediaries in Europe.

Best of luck
