curious, it's difficult to sell even as it's difficult to find.
I think it is a combination of shipping costs and the concern over power supply- I assume that it requires 240 volts...?
In the US, the used E-ballasts are hard to get because the potheads snap them up, they use them for home-grown maryjane plots, so California and Vancouver hippies are out in force looking for used ballasts. They also go hard after UV ozone generators to, I imagine, cover up the odors. The Drug Enforcement Administration should do a few sting operations on E-Bay if they are still excited to nail the home "hobbyists".
If your unit has a combined 110-240, 50-60 power supply capability and there is an alternative slow boat shipping method that doesn't exceed half of the cost of the unit, you might be able to move it to a US LL subscriber- me, for example. But you need to be able to explain that up front.
