    I had a offer for
    $1500 from someone in Calif. and accepted an offer for $2,000 from someone in Netherlands - but there was no way to ship with ebay; I even had a tech on the phone who had me cancel sale & relish it and add dimensions and weight - and then change categories to antiques other, but the new international shipping program (no more ebay global shipping I guess) wouldn't let it go!
    So I had to cancel the sale again!
    I thought of doing it myself but tech said postal was close to 300 and ups close to 700!
    He still wants it but he only has 4 feedbacks & sending to the Netherlands on my own isn't something I'm comfortable with.
    So I'll wait - 2 1/2 offers (France guy still checking American friends) in 1 day is a good start!

    I just accepted $1,900 on eBay - and buyer is in Fla, where I am (no shipping out of country, or even across the country)!
    Thank you all for the help & information!

    Woot! Problem solved! I'd say that's $200 well spent.
