it occurred to
me if there's a bunch of stuff in the UK that us Yanks
want, and contrariwise if there's a bunch of stuff here that Red Coats
want LOL LOL, couldn't we arrange to have a big crate of stuff
shipped together to save? It's worth considering. Of course something like
that has to be planned in advance. Maybe we should start a trans-pond
want/have list...and go from there?
The Japanese are way ahead of us - they have had shipping brokers that
cater to very small niches for years. Some guys just ship old radios,
others hifi gear or vintage guitars, and so forth. There are also
similar European organizations that cater to old military vehicles
crossing the Atlantic.
