mike, wow, i was surprised, and i said that, i am free to say that the same way you are free to set your conditions for selling or giving for free, accepted
i was surprised because local shipping for a 50gr piece of plastic would have costed me 3,7 euro and international worldwide shipping of the same piece of plastic would have been 5,2 euro, just checked online
so IMHO money is not the question
i am adding a reflexion on the point that keeping our movements local makes this place limited in some sense, i have the feeling that some members, mostly newcomers, do not believe that this is an international forum
many members here have offered shipping inlcuded in the price (or free shipping within the 48 i.e.), and adding the difference they accepted international shipping, perfect
it has been a while that i am facing similar situations, in other places, when someone from xx will not ship to yy, and someone from zz will not ship to kk
not to mention that others will stop accepting your advices if you are from the hh continent
i am simply not in favour of any discrimination, even if being a generous donation, which is the case
next time we might see an offer right handed only, or pink hairs only, or green skinners only, or island citizens only,...;-)
all this was comprised in my wow, glad it captured your attention
kind regards
