    Hello!

    Is there any online reseller in the US that sells the Sager NP8690/W860CU that I can pay for with a non-US credit card?

    On the north american continent? I doubt it.
    Depending on where your credit card's been issued, you may try European, Asian or other resellers.
    If it has to be a US reseller, you may consider international wire transfer/money order as a payment option.

    I can't use money orders, since they are limited to 1000$, and wire transfers are pretty expensive. :(

    well, just contact the reseller of your choice and find out, using a foreign cc might be possible if you don't mind a little delay.

    Ask if you can send multiple money orders

    Well, where are you from? I bought with my canadian credit card, but I'm not sure about other countries. You can chat with some of resellers on their website too, and just ask them there.

    multiple money orders seems to be a good idea, there's only like a five buck fee on each of them (at the post office).
    or you can ask someone you trust to order it for you and pay that person in cash.
    or maybe, if it's not too far away, you can just drive to your reseller and pay cash?
    as a last resort you can also just open a bank account and get a US or Canadian credit card.
