Recently I've bought a used Mac mini G4 from a seller in Istanbul / Turkey and that Mac mni had a AP+BT cards placed on a mezzanine board with 2 antennas. I want to sell it but it isn't worth much here in Turkey so I'd like to sell it abroad. I can ship it anywhere. I cannot sell it over ebay because here in Turkey PayPal has been blocked for the last 4-5 years. So I have to sell it directly. The package contents are:

This upgrade kit sells for $88 + $9.82 on eBay. Here is a screencapture (by the time I've checked for the ad, it was sold)
This ad included the mezzanine board + AP Extreme Card + BT module + BT antenna but not the WiFi antenna. My product includes the WiFi antenna plus 2 installation screws (in addition to 2 for the BT module)
My product is 100% working. No problems whatsoever. It's in mint condition. The Mac mini from which I've removed it was equipped with AP+BT from the factory, i.e. it was installed in Apples' facilities.
My asking price is $89 + international shipping. The preferred shipping company is PTT, the equivalent of the US Postal Service in Turkey. The shipping cost to USA over PTT might be between $10-$15 but I have to verify this (have verified, see the update below). So, anyone considering buying this product must transfer beforehand $89 + $14 (PTT, public shipment company, delivery not 100% guaranteed; see the update below) or $36 (Yurtiçi Kargo, private shipment company, delivery 100% guaranteed) over an international bank payment system such as SWIFT. The bank account I use in Turkey is İş BankMy ebay account is aurora_eiffel You can connect me over Skype or Whatsapp.
UPDATE: I've visited the PTT today and there they've stated that the shipping to USA was 165TL which is, as of 28.Dec.2021 currency exchange rates, $13.98. But they've also stated that electronic parts might be rejected at the US customs office and might be returned back to the sender! When I questioned why that sort of nuisance happens, they've said "regulations" They've added however that it's not absolute that it be returned if the US customs evaluates it as a regular postage. All in all I count the PTT as officially risky, though the risk is not too high.
Upon that nuisanca, I've visited one of the private shipment companies of Turkey, Yurtiçi Kargo and asked if it's possible to send it to US at any cost without the risk of being returned and they've said yes it's possible but it costs 420TL which is €30 or $35.59 ! They've said that they would label it simply as "electonic card" and so that it would pass the customs without a trouble.
That made me think why it's no problem shipping over a private shipment company by paying a hefty sum of money while it 's a problem if sent over the public / national shipment company with a reasonable cost. Tomorrow I'll revisit the PTT and ask if they were being too conservative about that regulation thing and the actual possibility of this shipment to be rejected at US customs. (Note 2022-Jan-01: I couldn't revisit the PTT)
