Because of its weight it can't be send safely as a small packet. It has a weight
of nearly 2 kg and I can only wrap it in paper in order to keep it under 2 kg,
So I really can't recommend sending it as a small packet.

-Überdachen ohne einzukrachen Buschfunk
Buschfunk has specialized in nostalgia games, that bring the German Democratic

must build their house. But in socialism you can't buy everything needed. So you
buy what you can get even if you don't need it and then try to trade for the
things you need. And if you can't get the stuff needed for a bathroom, why not
building a second kitchen instead?

my auction rules
-----------------------------------------
1) Bidding and prices are in US dollars (increments in
full dollars, no fractions please).
2) Payment may be made with a cheque in German currency
and drawable on a german bank. Cash at buyers risk
(As cash, I will accept US$ too).
I can accept payment also via PayPal now.
After I have received the payment, I will ship the parcel.
3) Buyer pays postage by a shipping method of his choice.
Shipping costs overseas (my overseas) start at $9 for
a small packet, that allows a max. weight of 2kg and
offers no insurance, therefore buyer takes risk of loss
or damage. Takes 4 to 8 weeks to deliver. Economy parcels
are faster, offer insurance and more weight. They are
starting at about $25, with the final price depending
on weight (20kg max.).
Parcels within Germany or Europe are much cheaper.
4) I reserve the right to add games and remove ones without
a bid.
5) I use the GOING, GOINGx2, GONE method which advances each
update without a new bid. Updates will be posted 2 or 3
times a week.

I accept nicknames) When similar bids occur the first bidder will
hold the highest bid.
