If you're still hunting, you might try contacting Alex Kettle (occasional
member of this list, who mostly lurks - you there Alex?) at:
http://www.uppercanadagames.com/
Recently he had a pretty big pile ("pretty big pile" defined as 50+
kits)
of Geo-Hex made 25mm GZG resin vehicles available for sale. I had a
good
going-over and grabbed a bunch, and I believe TomB was thinking about
sinking his teeth into the pile so I haven't got a clue what is left, but
there were quite a few of the NAC wheeled vehicles, for example.
Drop Alex a line if you're interested.
Adrian, just to be clear, these are raw kits, right? Half of Glenn's
paragraph you quoted stated he was interested in pre-painted.
On the other hand, some of us would be interested in rounding out old
Geo-Hex collections. Thanks for the suggestion.
Alex, if you are on, you might give some of us a clue, being in Canada, if you
can handle US checks and the like.

In my limited experience selling to Americans on eBay, cashing cheques
in US funds is relatively easy (at least at my bank (CIBC/PC)). I drop
them in the ATM as a deposit, giving the face value dollar value, and the bank
gives a credit a few days later to cover the exchange rate.
US cash is accepted everywhere at reasonable (but not great) exchange rates.
The only payment from an American I couldn't cash was a domestic money order
(green and yellow?); it pretty much has to be an international money order
(pink, I believe).

My experience with trading from this side of the border, but some merchants
seem to have issues, and I think it's best we hear from Alex.

Which is printed quite clearly on the green MO, by the way. We 'mericans
can be SOOOO thick. ;->=
Still, a few Canadians seem to be able to handle 'em; I'm assuming close to
the border, and able to 'step' across. Or have associates in the US.
Lastly, a reminder that I'm one of the fellows that voice unbridled admiration
for Jon's speed in deliveries, and quality of product. I've only had issues
with funds transfers, and am perfectly willing to admit it's a personal
problem.

Maybe feltongames.com? Looks like they only have a few bits of
DSII-sized
items left.

These are indeed raw kits (still in the bag).
I know Glenn preferred pre-painted, but I thought I'd pass word on
anyway -
someone might find it useful, and Alex did have some cool stuff. He had a
bunch of the larger tank models, for example.

I'll forward this to him - I don't know if he's on list for sure at the
moment.

I'll reply to myself on this one.
I talked to Alex tonight and he says "no problem" for US customers. Contact
him through the webstite:
www.uppercanadagames.ca
if you're interested, and he can let you know what stuff is available. US
residents welcome! (for that matter, he'd probably be interested in selling to
anybody anywhere!)
