Title: HELP with buying an US only item on eBay
Post by: Stevo on June 15, 2007, 09:23 PM: This post is a bit of a last resort, but I am looking for ideas on how I could buy an OS Bell helmet on eBay that can only be shipped with the US. :-\

I have been hunting for a decent OS helmet for ages and this one is the best I have seen for a while and wouldn't mind it for MK07. I have Oakley googles, haro visor and guard for it too. The star graphics would be removed, I think they are just vinyl.

The seller is a business/shop not an individual so I can't ask him to make an exception. You need either a US address or credit card registered in the US in order to place a bid.

A link to the item can be found here:

The auction ends Sat 16 July 21.50.

If any members are US based and would like to help out, please post. I have 100% feedback on eBay and have been a member for several years. I have also bought a bike and parts from members on this forum without any problems.

Cheers

Post by: Stevo on June 15, 2007, 09:31 PM: Great, but is it for sale? ???

Bell Mag 4 helmets are on eBay a lot but, they are usually too small (I need 7.5) or are in poor nic and don't have the fasteners at the side for the mouth guard.
