Wanted your opinions on this topic how to buy music from private parties overseas.... I recently ask Tim Koch (from Oz) for his Gescom CDrs he offered. He said it'd be $US24. Fine. I go to the USPS and they tell me they don't have any international money orders for Australia. I think, hmmm, should I just send the bills? Prolly too risky. Should I just send him a cheque, no his bank prolly wont accept it. Then I think, OK, I will just go to some currency joint and BUY the Australian equivalent to $24US. this is gonna cost me an extra $4-5 the guy on the phone told me. Wiring the money would be about the same shit no? So what do you guys normally do? I know if it were a store on-line, I'd just supply a CC #, but this is some private party. see you, g
