IBM Beamspring (you know, those holy grail ones) - 3hrs left

I found this when it just got put on ebay, I'm surprised nobody bid on it yet. It is too nice to disappear unnoticed. 3 hours left.

Truly lovely. Looks in superb condition. And it cost only 5.90EU to post within Germany! Really, as they say, things are cheap in Germany.

But considering it's a beam spring, it probably weights 1/10 of a ton and costs 500 Euros to ship abroad...

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

They say things are cheap in Germany? Never heard that :blank:
However, USPS always seems to be more expensive than DHL/German postal service.

I have no idea how big they are but if you give me an approximate weight I could tell you the shipping costs. Found a site that said 10kg, if they are correct shipping to U.S. would cost about 60$.

That's true. If you ship heavy things to international by USPS, it is much more expensive than DHL/UPS
