A couple of weeks back I put up a post saying M90 wanted.
I was just kind of testing the water to see if anyone was thinking of selling or knew if there was one hidden away somewhere. I didn't expect any real kind of response.
To my surprise I got a response within around 10 minutes!!!!!
I couldn't believe my luck, especially when I saw the response was from Redbenjoe. When i saw the message it was almost too good to be true, he had one in his storage that he hadn't seen for a while but he could use some $'s and it was mine if I wanted it.
He said take your time, this isn't for sale anywhere else, it's yours if you want it . Sure I was going to take my time with an M90 in my sights. I scrambled together some cash and with the help of Glucifer Ira got his money.
When he returned from checking it out in his storage the news was all good. 100% fully working, great cosmetic condition only a few nicks and scratches here and there.
Could it get any better?
The only downer about this deal was the high cost of shipping
I wasn't going to let this ruin the deal and neither was Ira. The shipping ended up being $100 more than the original quote but Ira wouldn't accept anymore money
As a result I'm working out some Blasterkarma in his direction
The box was shipped with fedex in a box the size of a small car. I think this is the reason for the high shipping cost. I'm glad it was packed in this way as there was no way it could possibly been damaged which, when dealing with a box of this value, is essential. I think the box dimensions probably added the extra $100 or so.
Hopefully this wont spoil future trades between the 2 countries. I've got something else in the pipeline from the States and the postage quote is cheaper with USPS but let's hope it arrives in one piece.
Anyway, some pictures.................
Oh, by the way, Ira
