[time-nuts] US ebay sellers who won't ship outside the US

[d.seiter at comcast.net]

More inept governmental garbage. I rarely buy surplus anymore, but when I do, it all gets broken down into parts/assemblies for spares and all markings are removed and it goes into scrap mode. Occasionally, I have to build up something from parts on hand, which can be fun... Come to think of it; I haven't received any emails from gov auction sites in a while, have some gone out of business?

bureaucrat! 

That incident reads like a Dilbert comic strip.
