I'm trying to work out whether it would be feasable for me to sell models in the store. I live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm pretty ignorant about foreign exchange transactions. My enquiries at my local bank has not been very satisfactory. They only seem to be interested in how much they can make on the deal. Is there a preferred procedure for foreign transactions? I.e. how would you prefer to pay money made on sales over to an overseas artist? Any information to clarify the situation would be appreciated. Berge

At this point, we make all payments by check (in US dollars) to all artists. It is up to the artist to do any currency exchange. I realize that could be expensive, but it's our only option right now. Diane
