 Excellent point, however I have twice contacted a "US only" seller, 
 disclosed fully who I was and offered a couple of ways to pay. 
 In both instances I received an "OK go ahead and bid from Canada anyway" 
 message. 
 In neither case did I win the auction but it was little problem to at least 
 ask. 
 I got a distinct impression that since I had taken the trouble to ask 
 politely, the sellers welcomed my interest! 
 My other alternative (which I also offered) was to have them ship/mail to 
 relatives of my wife in VA; the sellers responded that since that would 
 involve 'double shipping', it was unnecessary and they would ship to me 
 anyway, at minor additional cost. 
 So, if you don't ask?
