Possibly. Not sure what the text should include. Mandatory english for customs agents or lower customs taxes.

Well, we have fixed tariffs where weight isn't a factor. Camping gear has a 12% tariff, and if you add 19% VAT, you end up paying about 34% in fees. Sounds fairer than paying additional fees for weights that a non-commercial buyers will never even get close to.

If extremtextil finish the english translation of their website I'll probably start diy-ing a bit more. My german is not what it used to be.

I am seriously considering buying a 600' spool of 1/8" Amsteel from LFS. I certainly do not need this much but the price is right. Is anybody interested in buying some off me if I do? What color would you prefer? This would be the one with the tracer.
There is 1/8 on some auction site at over .50/ foot, I would price it at .25/ a foot plus shipping. Within U.S.
I would only be interested in selling 100 foot increments and only selling 400' out of the 600.
So that would be 100' or $25 for 1/8' with tracer shipped by priority mail in a box with tracking at $6 = $31. Unless you want 200 or 300, shipping would be the same $6
Any interest in this?
Guess not. Oh well, I will just buy some smaller lengths at .50/ft.

Check it out at LFS Marine & Outdoor

Price is back down to $64.95 free shipping.

Just pulled the trigger on this. They have both the red and the green tracers on sale (but the red is going fast). Just got off the phone with these guys and they said this was Amsteel with no problems but these are being phased out. Apparently the blue and black tracers are still in production.

It's been over a year since the last discount and I missed it then because I was waffling too long and they sold out. Just saying.
