IMPORTANT FOR U.S. BIDDERS
- Due to the significant restrictions imposed by U.S. Customs on imports (high customs fees for both the sender and the recipient, as well as extensive administrative paperwork), I regret to inform potential bidders from the United States that I will no longer be able to ship items purchased at auction to them.
Thank you to our American friends for refraining from bidding on my items until relations between our governments return to normal.
