Advice on wire transfer and shipping to APO

Jond - Elizabeth,

Exactly.

I lived in Europe off and on for around 30 years, mostly due to military obligations and private consulting working for Fortune 500 companies.

I am influenced by the European lifestyle and in part by my European heritage, Spanish and Italian, actually sicilian. I speak, read, and write German fluently, not a lick of Spanish or Italian.

Just settled back in the USA last year, after retiring from the military with 90% disability and getting used to the "American Way of Life".

That should be enough of an explanation as to why I use Ciao when signing off. I could also use Bis Spater, Tschüs, oder wiedersehen. I don't think many people speak German in this forum though.

Ciao,

Ich habe die meisten der deutschen lernte ich in der Mitte bis Ende der siebziger Jahre.

Who is this person Ciao and why is he stalking Elizabeth? Can he be banned?

Who is stalking who? I do not see any post in this thread that
remotely comes close to websters definition of "stalking". Surely you
have misconstrued the facts and dissulioned yourself
into thinking that someone is up to know good.

I used to be a postal inspector years ago. Perhaps
shoudl be banned for advocating someone
avoid paying taxes on imported goods, a felony
offense for an American citizen using services
under the Status of Forces Agreement with Germany.
Those who partake in such actions willfully are
also subject to the arm of the law. Believe me, big
brother is looking for exactly these type of transactions.

If you want to be part of this go ahead. I'm just
saying watch out and don't break the law, that is helpful
information. In terms of my relationship with
the US government customs office in Germany,
I could probably turn this into an investigative
mater right now and feel good doing as a red
blooded American.

Now it is chow time, as we say in the American
military.
Ciao

Thanks all for the advice. It all turns out to be moot because the funds never hit my bank account, even tho buyer sent me a jpg purporting to show completed wire transfer.

Jmcgrogan2- I'll keep you in mind if I ever decide to sell the Alaap, which was fully upgraded by Nick in 2012 ;-)

Audioquest4life- Chill out w some tunes, my friend. Chow.
