Hi Guys!
Well.. I guess I would need someone that I can Paypal some US dollars to and they would then send some money to Wittner! The reason is I want a new speed board for my version 1 GS1200 as it isn't synching well to Pedro's board.
So how about it? [Smile]

Mr. Clancy? Kev? Tony? Mike? Bueller? Anyone?

I'm assuming you're looking for someone in the UK (or better yet, Germany)? You could also just do a wire transfer from your US bank directly to Wittner's account; they can give you the international routing information needed. It'll cost a bit in extra fees but might make things a lot easier for you. Or, just send them concealed cash in a registered airmail envelope, I did that once and it cost me $8.50 to mail it. Anyway, these are your options in a nutshell. [Smile]

I'd be more than glad to accept your money via PayPal and forward it but it just wouldn't make any sense since I'm in Ohio myself... [Roll Eyes]

Hi Jan. Thanks for the support! But they want money in Euro Cash. At my Bank I remember them saying something along the lines of having to change over a minimum charge of $500 or there was a fee of $25. And the bank transfer was going to cost something like $30-50! Crazy right? [Frown]

Hello Alan

I'd be happy to help but for me the cheapest way to do business with Wittners is by sending cash via registered post, money transfers from the UK to Germany seem to be very expensive. I think Kev does semi-regular business with them so he might know another way and of course Tony knows his way round the bank system so he might have some advice too.

Failing any one being able to help you with a bank transfer option I would happily post off the Euros for you, we can access smaller amounts in the UK quite easily.
