And really, when we get to the four digit range on bid, who really "wins"?  I don't think it's the person that finally has highest bid.
Nope! It's the bidder that got there first with a single digit! :D

But really, I just want to say good luck to all and may the best man win.

And as much as I want it to be me, I'm almost positive it won't be. This board has drained me of quite a bit of money in the week I've been here. I'm having trouble remembering all of the things I have coming this way.

This is a feeling I also already have. However, your budget is still clearly much higher than myself.


Good luck to all!

Wait, are we doing this again?

/joking. I've begun a new project that has been taking my time and money, so I will most likely not win, which sucks because it actually got delayed like I was hoping...

Unless it gets delayed two more weeks. Huh, kawa?

Delay it Kawa! He'll give you more money! :D

oh dear. well, international shipping would be actual shipping costs. this will exceed the 4lb limit on international priority mail, so i'm not even sure how to ship this internationally.

amended: large flat rate priority is 20lb max. so that should do for shipping. note that's not tracked though. express mail will be in the 50-60$ range i believe.

Priority always has tracking. Express is the most expensive USPS option.

intl Priority gives you nothing but delivery confirmation... and often only to the destination country.  There is no actual tracking service on it.  If you are getting mid-point updates it's because you got lucky and they're just scanning everything.

I guess I must be lucky, then. Every int'l shipment I have shipped has shown tracking. I don't think it was up to the minute, but it definitely showed scans and leaving for delivery, etc.
