Ummm yeah, but price is a function of supply and demand. If you limit your demand by excluding many people who would bid on your system (such as myself) you will recieve a lower price. I think the technical term for this is "cutting off your nose to spite your face" :-D
I've been burned on ebay and comp.sys.amiga.marketplace by Americans, should I then resolve never to buy or sell things to Americans?
Usually when an auction says will ship only to US, I find that if I bid on it anyway 95% of the time they will ship it anyway--no problems (well except if they ship by the pirates UPS or put a value declaration of $100 when I won the auction for 1 cent, but that's another story).
I've only had 2 people who refused to ship to me. It's only if they explicitly state in the body of the auction that they won't ship outside the US that I don't bother to bid (or 48 contiguous states. What have they got against Alaskans, Hawaiians, Puerto Ricans who are all US citizens?) . :roll:
