I've always thought that there was great potential
in
transoceanic transfer of old computer equipment. Right now,
it all seems to flow out of the US to China.
I've traded stuff with people in the UK and Australia and the
shipping wasn't too bad, but it was lighter stuff. I once sent a
collector in the UK both a TRS-80 Videotex terminal and a TI-99/4A in
return for a 48k Speccy, a Spectrum +2 and an Oric-1. Unfortunately
I never received the +2 or Oric-1. I've had really good luck sending
disks to as far away as Australia and Hungary. I tend to also move
stuff quite a bit between the US and Canada.
