Rockinroni, I live in Venezuela. I have used mail-order in the past, but currency exchange has been regulated by the government, and credit cards are no longer useable abroad. Besides, shipping and customs+tax (40%) are killers.
On the other hand, the terrible economic situation allows for very good deals in used gear. I managed to pick up a McIntosh C29/MC2125 combo for $300 and a Sansui TU-717 for $35! As a matter of fact, these vintage components are the culprits for my recent interest in vinyl.
That’s the reason I’m buying used, limited to those options.
