Postage estimates
Hi, I've had a few enquire about how much shipping is for the Matsu Tweeters. Pragmatically speaking, these are small and lightweight so shipment (anywhere) won't be much obviously.
Each pair has a net weight of just under 1/2 a pound (220g).
After selling many items here and on other forums, with shipments going the world over, I've estimated that 90-95% of enquirers who request a postage quote never end up making a purchase. Making these estimates take time. Therefore, unless the item offered is unusual in it's shipment requirements, postal estimates are no longer provided to any other than a fully committed buyer.
Self Estimates can be made here (shipment from R2M-5R3):

After buying many items over the world i have used to a simple procedure of puschase:
1. I see some post on some forum with a price w/o shipping.
2. I try to estimate the shipping costs myself, with actual shipping service website.
3. Then, i ask seller how much he want to get for the shipping+item, as seller's preferences on shipping methods and packing may vary. Also, i ask his paypal adress so i could pay.
4. And in the end, i just pay the price the seller wants on item+shipping if it is still reasonable and corresponds to price of shipping i have estimated in step 2.
Yet, i have found out that sellers that respond in aggresively manner, in 95-100% cases actually don't want to sell their items, so i just pass.

It's difficult to gauge sincerity among buyers isn't it. My response is hardly aggressive. I think if you find what I say aggressive then I agree that you will certainly find a high percentage of other sellers who fit your requirements for aggression. I wholeheartedly agree that you should not deal with someone you don't feel comfortable with. I beleive in being self selective, which is why you and I will not be doing business.
In terms of me being sincere in offering these tweeters for sale, I have been to the 3 dozen or so buyers who are enjoying their Matsus worldwide at any given moment. I don't make a habit of posting sale ads on forums, or anyplace else, for my amusement.
December has been a suprisingly busy (considering Christmas) month for Matsu sales with 11 pair sold - some to Australia (several SONAB owners there it seems), Russia and Spain. The fellows in Australia and Russia decided on the Matsus to update their SONAB's while the gent in Spain required a good cone tweeter for a personal project. I'll see if they'll participate in a testimonial to add to the list.
Motherload of Vintage Control Parts 50's - 70's
Huge assortment of vintage control knobs from many, many manufacturers such as SONY, Yamaha, Harman Kardon, NAD, Pioneer, Kenwood, Marantz, Sansui etc. 12 containers full, 20 lbs total, several hundred items all told.
$200 for the works
Many in sets from the same unit.
Assortment consists of tuner, volume, tone and selection control knobs. Also, rocker switch (for power, tone defeat etc) covers. Tonnes of goodies here. 90% are aluminum, indicative of the period.
Will not even remotely consider seperating as this accumulation has been acquired over about 15 years. 200/15 = $13.34 per year - that's nothing.
Again, there's some real good stuff here.
