I mean, REALLY??? She says she is not a watch person. And she recommends it be serviced. So, where in the hell does the FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE dollar price come from then?

To be honest, these sellers so fond of this "no international bidders please" thing, are not that clever, because the only way to sell at this price is benefiting from euro or other money exchange rates... and finding a desperate collector, also.

I don't even think letting EU people bid will enable them to get THAT price.   ;)

But your point is well taken. I am not sure why sellers do not do business internationally. Now that one can ship everything online, through several sites I might add, there is no reason to exclude them. I used to exclude them on my eBay sale, if it meant a trip to the post office, but I no longer exclude them. And I never have excluded them for my site sales.

I think it must be fear that keeps sellers from selling internationally. Maybe, they don't know how or afraid to fill out customs forms. Suits me fine, since it means less competition for me. More than 1/3 of my ebay sales go overseas. If the Post Office will take it, I'll ship it.
Best,
