That's what international shipping is for.
It shouldn't be hard to find cheap DLT drive off ebay, a standalone
drive isn't all that heavy, and shouldn't be expensive to ship, even to
Brazil.
Yes, but there are lots of variables on this thing:
- International credit cards are not so common in Brazil. Myself, as an
example, I don't have one. No paypal therefore.
- Not all sellers ship international. Dunno why. Lots of things I tried
to buy on EBAY before were denied because of international shipping - no
matter how expensive or cheap it would be
- In Brazil, believe it or not, we still have heavily taxing of anything
abroad. It is a game of luck. Or no luck. A DLT drive can pass thru (it
almost always happens) or be taxed as a new $5000 DLT drive. 60% on the
price + shipping.
Buying things in USA is an adventure for all of us. Why do you think I
don't have simple things as a Speccy or a BBC, or an Atari 512/1024?
Well, at least we have good beaches and nice sun ;o)
As sad as it can be, these are the rules :o(
