Curious do you keep inventory for any of this? Seems an opportunity for parts that you know you’re going to sale based on historical demand. Can charge a premium for it.
Also put your parts on Amazon.
International shipping is still in disarray thanks to the pandemic, costs are way up and lead times are unreliable.
The US Postal Service used to be the cheapest and most reliable international package shipper out there, but they've tumbled into the shitter in the last few years.
We keep a certain amount of inventory, and a lot of it is on amazon, eBay and our own web store, but there are a large number of items in this business that only sell once every few years or so, and inventory taxes take a big bite out of those if you keep them on the shelves for too long.
