Wonder if it arrives then you're hit with all sorts of unexpected cost at the shipping port with customs etc, Hmmm. Can imagine it turning up here [nz] & being priced off the market by additional costs. Maybe i'm just talking myself out of what could be a terrific deal on the face of it. Way back, probably 7+ years ago i got my 490k from Ebay California--cost $1250 US plus 100 to crate it & arrived in the shed for a total of $3900 US using a local shipping agent & the cost was pretty much right on the button to what i was estimated. Think i paid freight cost on arrival & was at the mercy of what our dollar [nz] was worth on 'that day'.

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, he has a 89 KX 250 for $1200 incl shipping to Aus.
