well Gump is o***g on Ebay and he really is bidding high. I do have no chance. Can you spare me the granites?

Hey gallomallet, could you please offer shipping to Canada? I really want to buy some knex off you, but your not shipping to Canada. Thanks.

Edit* Jogumpie, could you please spare me a bag of cross-ties? PLEASE, just one bag?

I'm currently bidding on both bags of flat plates for
My kid.

Hello,

Aaron, I will offer shipping to Canada. Although the price of shipping may go up, you can still bid on the items you want and we can figure out the shipping costs at a later time.

If there are any more questions from anyone I'll be glad to answer them :]

[Jogumpie]

I'm writing an e-mail to you at the moment as it contains a long story.

To all others, go ahead and bid on the crossties, the purple 3D's, the flexi-rods and the spacers, these are very non-essential to me and would be an extra if I would win the biddings on blue 3D's. Now that the price of these blue connectors is rising, I'm trying to get rid of my non-essentials items/bids.

My dad just won a screaming serpent on Ebay and it is scheduled to arrive at my home Wednesday. I'll take a pick of it for proof. he's also biding on a big ball factory and 2 more screaming serpent.

Gallomallet, how much (approx) will it cost for one bag of crossties to Canada? Thanks!


Everyone, please could you not bid on the first bag of crossties (#1)? There are two more bags if you want some (#2 and #3). Thanks.

[gallomallet]

Aaron,

Shipping would cost about $28 to Canada for a bag of crossties ( I would ship it in a medium flat rate box through Priority Mail).

[Aaron]

Oh my gosh, thats crazy. Sorry, but I really can't afford that. I thought it would be like $17 after shipping, but $33 Is way to much. Well, anyone in America is very lucky...

Anyone can take it, and sorry Gump, you'll have to count on someone else to get them off of you.

I just talked to my parents who buy on ebay all the time, and they told me that it could go by 1st class international for way less if you are okay with that.

USPS - First-Class Mail International Prices

the third chart down is small packages (up to 64 oz = 4 lb)
Canada is zone 1

Could we do it that way instead?

[Jogumpie]

There's still two crosstie bags (#2 and #3) of which I am the current high bidder. If anyone feels like they need crossties, please outbid me. Why? Because it would seem like a nice supplement with other pieces, but the 3D's are getting so expensive (at least including shipping to the Netherlands)... it's cheaper to get them from England (had 1000 for $164/€122).

[gallomallet]

Aaron,

Yes we could do that.

[Aaron]

So how much would it cost for one of those? I weighed a gallon bag of my cross-ties and its about 28 oz, so that would cost $7.95 to ship to me. I don't know the weight of your bags, but it would only cost a max of $9 to ship to me.
Thanks.

[BubbleMan 32714]

I have received your bag number 1 of flat plates today. They will be good taken care of.

[alpal]

No wonder the competition for these pieces on eBay was so hard! I didn't realize that almost everyone on this website were going for this stuff!I got the bag of green/red rods. Should come in tomorrow

[Jogumpie]

Woke up at 4am to bid on some of them last second. That's how things go on eBay, bidding in the last seconds.

[Maxlaam]

Gump and I kept close contact during the bids.

[Aaron]

And I got the cross tie bag #2 for like $10.50 + $7.95 shipping.

[Jogumpie]

Me: 1100+ blue rods and the yellows of one yellow/granite bag.
Max: hinges and ball joints, 2 half moon bags, 45-degree connector bag and the granites of one yellow/granite bag.

Hoping to receive them soon. All 1500 blue 3D's that I bought somewhere else have arrived.

[ForgotToGrowUp]

I watched all that stuff and thought the bidding got too high so stopped bidding.

But I did just get another SS train for 10.50 :-)
