Hi Jim,

thanks :) 

I think the biggest problem is the shipping and the toll for the stuff. I
bought some brochures over ebay.com in the USA in the last years. It was no
problem with paypal ect. 

In the age of worldwide communication I'm wondering that there are problems
for you to get the stuff. 
I think the best is to collect here some requests, and I'll see what I can
organize for you. I think the best start is to have one person in the US and
one in Germany to handle the "collecting orders" 

What do you think?

Regards

Christoph Boltze

Betreff: Welcome aboard Christophe/German imports

Welcome to the list Christoph!
I have often thought that there was money to be made by someone who was
active with this list and lived in Germany. I have seen many things on
German Ebay that we just cannot get here in the US or at least it is
difficult to get them.
Of course, with the current state of the US Dollar, I may be wrong. Here are
a few suggestions of things that might sell to U.S. T3 nuts like myself:

1. Those nifty "No Worries" VW signs with the peace sign hand for the V.
2. There used to be some very nice T3 T-shirts with lightning on them.
3. Double headlight grilles, square or round.
4. T3 or Wedge stickers
5. Alloy wheels
6. Gas powered heaters
7. Seats
8. Mirrors
9. Decals
10. T3 Toys
11. Mud flaps
12. Running Boards
13. Stick pins
14. The dash accessory without the fold out table.
I know there must be others. Anyone? Why don't we do group buys more often?
