Hi all: 

Well this is strange, there's a remote VFO for my 102 on ebay and the seller apparently will ship to a bunch of countries except Canada. 
Is this a choice or is it eBay? I would think it would be more expensive to ship to Europe and Australia than to Canada.  
I had my XYL create an eBay account and she went to UPS to determine the shipping and insurance and its 56.55 and he's asking 200USD plus shipping. 
I posted to the Yaesu FT-102 Yahoo group that I was looking for the VFO and its customary for me to sign with my call sign. 
So you'd think he'd look up my call sign before responding to my posting to the group that he had it for sale, unless it was a general posting. 
Coincidence? I don't think. LOL Anyway I just looked and he hasn't changed his shipping options as I suggested so I could buy it from eBay, so we'll see. 
I could use PayPal but it would take 8 business days for the deposit to take place and I want to move quickly.
