Will get these items listed on Wednesday.  ----------------------------------------------------- BUYER TO PAY calculated shipping. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM SO PLEASE DON’T BID. PLEASE USE THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR TO COMPUTE IT.IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS, JUST WRITE ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE ACTUAL SHIPPING FOR YOUR ZIP CODE.
