There are certainly a number of individual reasons for not wanting to transact informal business across international boundaries, but I'd say the biggest reason is that the USA is full of xenophobes. Heck, there are still plenty of 'Murcans who don't know that Hawaii and New Mexico are states. I once traded vintage mandolins with an Irish gentleman in China after I got to know him a bit. China Post and USPS International were both amazingly efficient. The mandolins reached their destinations intact and remarkably quickly. jim m wc ca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
