I will be posting my second order for the UE TF10s in the For Sale forum, but wanted to give people a heads up. The posting time will be 8pm eastern time.

First, these will be sold at the $99 price. I need to add on the PayPal 2.9% + $0.30 USD fee and $4.95 USPS Priority Mail fee. So the total will come to roughly $108.

Sorry, but I can only ship within the United States.

It's the season to be merry! Good luck.

Very kind of you!

We shall see. I tried to think of the most fair way to do this. Giving people enough time to see this post should help.

 

[intoflatlines]

If it were me I would do a random drawing. You know, set a time limit or something and randomly pick from there. That's just what I would do, though. I think it's more fair that way so it's not as dependent on who has the fastest internet connection or free time at the posting time.

Just a question for people in general, and certainly not directed to ajmiarka (you seem like a great guy who just wants to help people out

), but why are so many people in the US not willing to ship north of the border. USPS First Class Mail International is like 3 bucks for a package the size/weight of the TF10's. Priority Mail International is still under 10 bucks. Plus USPS/Canada Post seem to work pretty well with each other, I rarely hear of packages going missing.

 

[ajmiarka]

Ugh...now you got me thinking. But I think I'll stick with the original post. I should have consulted you first.

Actually, I've just had a Klipsch S4i package lost by USPS / Canadian mail. Shipped 12/2 and it's still not there. Makes me weary of international shipping. I do apologize, but that incident has just left a bad taste in my mouth...or ear...

ajmiark,

Thank you. Being in Australia I missed out on this deal. Its great to see someone who is willing to help those fellow enthusiests who missed out and not selling them here for 50% profit.

Yes, I appreciate it too. Though I won't be jumping on them as I simply don't need any earphones at the moment (blasphemy I know).

Not to mention that selling new items at a profit is against the rules of the for sale forum. (Read the rule that says "Commercial sales").

 

[ajmiarka]

The first to post in the for sale thread will be the lucky winner. Please post in the thread, and do not PM me. I'll PM the first poster in that thread.

Im not saying do it for free. but we have a freebie section on another forum and this is what we do.

Have Everyone that wants to buy them for $99 post in the FS thread saying Im in... and then take all there names and add it to Randomized.com and it will choose one. Post the result. and ship em. Maybe choose 3 winners and if the 1st doesnt buy, second on the list gets next.

That seems fair.

 

[ajmiarka]

Thanks xguntherc. That does seem fair. If this transaction with taize falls through, that is what I will do. I'll post an update to this thread.

It's funny how you try to give back to the community, and it can turn on you like that! Ugh.

For some reason is seems Canadian customs wants to try the things we send up to Canada for while. I ship USPS FCI all over the world, and Canada has taken the longest for me. Not quite as bad as ajmiarka, but 10 full business days, which had the buyer not happy with me.

Not my fault, but without tracking (especially when the USPS doesn't update the tracking at all) I look like the bad guy no matter what. I mean, the tracking said I informed the USPS I was going to ship, not even received. So I could see a buyer questioning shipping.

Oh, and a TF10 would cost $5 to ship to Canada via USPS FCI + insurance

 

[dweaver]

Canada customs is a pain the butt and so is Canada Post for tracking. I will have stuff stuck at customs for days on end then suddenly they are in transit to me in Calgary like magic without showing any information about how they arrived in Calgary, so I just accept this is how the system up here works. If you ship to Canada and it is someone you have never dealt with, put a disclaimer about how Canada customs and Canada Post work up front, hopefully it will help keep impatient buyers from assuming your the problem.
