Don't take offense Robert, it is not a rap against Canadians, it is a rap
against American banks...Last year I had a large number of 4CX250 tubes
to dispose of, free...A fellow in Canada requested 4 of them and I sent
them to him...He sent me a check for $8 to cover mailing...It cost me
$15, no matter what bank I tried to do it at, to deposit the "foreign"
check...Being bitten, I, too, would not ship anything out of the
country...I ended up eating the $8 in postage because it would have cost
me another $7 to collect it...

>Scott,
 
I am not interested in your K2 as I have two already, but let me ask why 
you would limit your sale to US addresses only?
 
As a Canadian I take exception to comments like this. I have bought many 
items from your Countrymen, happily paying your inflated US$. Never have 
I had a problem with shipping of an item (except long antenna parts).
 
One cannot keep friendly relations with ones neighbours with positions 
such as this!
