I bought a Pharos piece a while back on E-Bay from the UK for $24. I checked with the seller and they said they wanted a International money order for payment. I went to the post office and they told me they do not sell money orders for the UK. I checked with the seller to see if she would take US cash. She said that she would have to convert that to English pounds and it would be another $12. So I went to the Riggs bank in Washington D.C. to buy English pounds. They did not have any small bills so I had to buy $30 worth which cost me over $40. I sent that to her and she shipped me the piece by way of surf mail whatever that is. Anyway it took me about 6 weeks before I received the piece. Never again will I buy from the UK. Live and learn.
