Not living in America ,i dont understand how WWBW can sell LT Guardalas cheaper than they can be on ebay. Are they defective ? Not made in USA? Is there something amiss going on ? I had to ask but like they say....your just plain stupid if your not a bit mad.

I have one of the WWBW Guardalas and it is just fine. It is not defective or a knock off.

I don't get the people on ebay charging more than you can pay elsewhere. I see the same with reeds. Charging more than you can pay elsewhere on an auction site will limit your customer count. Not to mention not having your item not sell week after week and getting charged for the auction. Maybe there is a sucker born every minute.

Thanks for the input fellas . Suckers are called mug punters here. Just been reading past threads on Crescent.Well Bebopalot , i too use 21/2 reeds on my Crescent and am getting the sounds i want .I use to use 31/2 on my Berg 110/0/sms. I use to know a player who opened up his Link 10* with an anglegrinder and used fence posts. He also liked to play thru a Marshell stack. He was a REAL man who was well over the hill by the time he hit 40.But he compensated that by having the brain of a 5 year old boy. By the way , any of you got shares in WWBW?

WW&BW are often out of stock and backordered with the LTs. In those cases buyers turn to eBay and pay more instead of waiting.

Thanks for your commonsense answer . WW&BW have just informed me they dont ship Guardala to Australia . Its not WW&BW policy but Guardalas .

Apparently it's not just Guardala. See this (http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?t=119772) thread from Dog Pants. DP is an Aussie, and he's been having problems purchasing mp3s in Australia. Go figure.

I can forward the email to you if you like . Some dont consider FNQ as part of Australia . I like your circumspection a la ..the answer to ..... Dont forget to wear your hat when you go out into the midday sun .

As far as I know, WW&BW owns Guardala LT (USA). Or, it is structured in some way that they have exclusive sale rights. There is no other Guardala company producing goods in the US. (There is PMS in Europe.) So I doubt there is a Guardala company dictating no shipping to Australia.

Well all i can say , email from service @info.wwbw.com and i quote....."there are certain brand of items that are not able to ship outside the US due to manufacturers policies .Guardala is unable to ship to Australia ." C'est la vie and back to Ebay .

That's odd. I wonder if it's because of some agreement involving PMS...the last I heard, Jeff Powell was saying that the WWBW deal had expired, but it seems that they are continuing to make mouthpieces.
