Would beinterested in the postagewhen you hear from them.

Just had another look and if you go down the page there is a calculator. £90 postage to Australia. Makes it a wee bit expensive. Cry

I like the look of that pot.
Very attractive indeed.

Unsure if I would pay AU$240 delivered.

I got a Email from the seller and he told me it was 65 pounds to post to perth, which makes it $ 200 AU. May have to think about it Undecided

Another thing to consider is customs or export duty, I've just bought an old pot from overseas and fortunately the seller listed it as a "used gift" to avoid those costs. Still expensive with postage on top of purchase price.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

As far as I know you only pay duties and GST if the cost/value is over $1000.00

This is correct Derek.
I imported all three Romany Gypsy items from this seller last year.
An oval boiler, a 10" camp oven and a 12" swinging frying pan. The oval pot is great for cooking stews and I use it on my Volcano Stove!
This seller gave a large discount for buying all three items, the post cost for one item was the same as for all three! No import duties or taxes - they just arrived in the mail in a UPS box!
A Billmans 9" is included for size reference.

Anybody wanting more info and direct contact details with seller off ebay please PM me.
