Mr.Zurevinsky shouldn't be dinged about that, but having done some
international business with military vehicles, anybody who is serious about
doing business with Mark or any person should be very cautious. I don't
know Mr. Zurevinsky, and can't comment about his specific business
practices. But I can say that there are very few protections offered by
international law when you send money to another person or entity in another
country in exchange for a promise to ship goods. Once the money is gone,
it's gone. Accordingly, you should proceed carefully. Know your seller,
use written agreements where possible, and avoid paying until you or your
agent has the material in hand. The individual buyer can import things
without too much difficulty, but do your home work before you spend the
money. If anybody wants help working through an importation problem like
this, feel free to email me off list and I'll relate some of the things I
learned when I imported my Indian.
