I would be willing to handle this for Stateside interested parties. I
have checked with my bank and the fee for an international draft is
only $5. However, there are the inherent time problems and inability
to track the check associated with this method.
In my view the preferred method would be an international wire. This
would cost $25. This way the money gets deposited directly into the
account immediately. No lost mail and we get our badges faster. Don't
forget, however, that there are customs fees involved as well. This is
just a guess, but the cost will probably run at least $15US per badge.
Anyone interested, contact me and I will handle the particulars with
Paul, as long as no one objects to me handling it. BTW, the current
Aussie/US exchange rate is .64A/1.00US. Pretty cool, eh?
