Another possibility with ebay. I'm in the US and have occasionally been alerted to an ebay item that says in the listing the UK seller will ship only to the UK. Assuming there's time, I have written to the seller and asked if they would be willing to ship to the US (and if so, what the shipping cost would be). Paypal is an easy way for a US buyer to pay the seller in GBP. There are other ways, too, though--there are international money orders, wire transfers, etc. There are, of course, fees attached to these methods, but it is do-able.
In my case, every UK seller I've written to has said, sure, I'll ship to the US. I don't know why they limit themselves, when, as Alice wrote, the selling price goes way up when they open their sale to the rest of the world.
