i've bought plenty of stuff from ebay germany and the u.k. however, there have been a couple sellers who outright refused to sell to someone in the states
. i had my hands on a complete set of w123 headlight wipers and wiring, euro coupe bumpers, and euro corners, that is until i asked the seller about shipping to the u.s. he said he couldn't help me, with no explaination, and wouldn't return any more e-mails about it.
that's the only reason i'd be interested in a middle man, for those last few hold outs.
