Just for the record I am prepared to ship outside of the UK, when putting the items on eBay I wasn't aware that this was how they would be displayed . So, if anyone is interested in any of the vintage items please feel fre e to ask about postal costs outside of the UK and I'll find out for you. Ho wever, please do so via eBay, or a personal email, and not here on th e list. If you can't see the item from the broken link sent earlier, just copy and paste the item number into the search functionality on ebay.co.uk

Thank you.
