Yeah, that was my line of thought, but I didn't want to butt in because I'm
not Aussie. :-)
Personally, I haven't held any auctions yet, but if I did, I'd like to open
them to international bidders, because I know how hard it is to get sets
outside of the U.S. (first-hand) and I know I'll be craving international
auctions just a year from now.
But I wouldn't want to open them *only* to Oz, that would mean missing a whole
(very large!) part of the market.
There aren't so many people who are willing to sell internationally, I think,
not anymore. I suggest you open .org.au to any auctions that are open to
Australia.
But again, I'm just suggesting this warmly because I think *you* would benefit
from it. Feel free to ignore every word. :-)
