Last year I had found a non-collector in Australia who had 40 suspensions for sale for $40. I offered him $20 for just one but he couldn't be bothered. He wanted them all gone.......... I asked, and he did pass on my contact information to the buyer who contacted me - eventually. Then, months later he finally posted it and months later it arrived. This chain of events took almost a year to complete .

I had asked that it be double boxed and was pleased to see such a fine job. The overstuffed inner box was, in this case, unnecessary as there was no sign of any postal abuse. My assumption is that regular postal staff are on holidays and the 'untrained' summer help doesn't know what is expected of them. Disirregardless, one finally got thru !!

With postage being a measly $92 for a single disc, it is easy to understand why I don't have all that many Australian suspensions in my display. Light grey, this fog type has a dia. over 10 inches and close to 15 lbs. with a 74 manf. date. [id=282062412;brief DIA history]
