Help with pricing on EPay

I buy and occasionally sell on EPay. Since I am out in the boonies now, I no longer have the luxury of a great curbside, dumpster, yardsale, or thrift-shop finds. While despite this, I did retrieve 2 DEC Pros from the town dump, and a complete Adam system, in the last 1 1/2 years here, and found a local salvager that gobbled up the remains of a government department that was closed down, there is very little available locally. It becomes a challenge to acquire even parts for your existing collection. From my perspective EPay serves a valuable function, and there are many of us far from urban centers. A recent request for Vax parts from a person. unexpectantly, in rural Alberta (Saskatchewan ?) drove that home to me, and it is true whether you're one of our strange breed, in India, Africa, or the Austalasia regions. One of my main beefs are the number of sellers in the US who restrict the volume of bids by refusing to ship to anywhere outside own their limited vision of the world. Either thru fear of unknown extra efforts, (which for the most part are minimal) or even ignoring the "will ship to" section. I routinely respond to something I'm interested in with "will you not ship to Canada" and the answer is almost invariably yes. They simply did the default form. Most Canadians are aware of this frustrating US national jingoism and rarely (never ?) do you find them posting similiar restrictions on sales because they know it simply involves filling out a small slip at the post office. The problems with the commercial shippers like UPS is a different number, and while it may work well in-country is a disaster outside. Similarly where I live, we pick up at the local post office so those who won't ship to a PO box are city dwellers who don't realise the realities outside the urban centers. Street addresses don't mean much here. Lawrence lgwalker@ mts.net
