Sherry said "I so wish the reserve would not be so high. You are right about the exchange rate problem between the US and the UK. I have admired alot of things over the years that I would have love to purchase...but there is such a gap between our money here and the money in the UK that I can't usually afford anything too much. Even postage from the UK to the states is high sometimes."
For potential overseas buyers - also remember that you will almost certainly want to have insurance and/or tracking on the shipping so ask how much that will be before you start bidding, and to find out at what value import duty will start. Ours here in the UK (from overseas) is made worse by the flat fee handling charge added by Royal Mail - it doesn't feel too bad if it's a high figure but on items which are only just over the limit, the handling fee can be as much as the taxes. So make sure you know what you might be letting yourself in for in additional costs before you bid.
