Subject: [CR] Need Help from a Member in France


Looking for some help/advice from a member in France. Came across this on ebay:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

Not sure of the make, but it seems like it would be a fun city bike, even with the added shipping costs.

Seller agreed to ship to me but then quoted me 400 eur which seems quite high. I gave her all my details as she promised to get me an exact quote. She came back with a message saying it would cost no less than 1000 eur to ship to me. My guess is she didn't want to say no and that was just a polite way of doing so. That or she plans on riding the bike to me.

What I would like to know is would a member in France be willing to accept the bike for me and ship it along to the US? And if so, what do you think the cost would be to get it here? I would be willing to reimburse you for your troubles.

Looking around ebay, seems like it ranges from $200 to $300 USD to get a complete bike shipped to the US.

Please contact me off list to discuss the details.

Thanks.
