They probably should have sold the 4536s for a bit of a premium and
captured some of the proffit, since after all, they're the ones who
managed to dig them up. Of course people like Larry who make a bulk buy
and ship to the US to sell are also doing a service.

These are auctions not sales:

Many people may not
want to deal with the hassle of calling up a UK toy store to order one
set, which will end up costing them a bundle because of shipping (is
there a service fee on the credit card transaction?).

I know that's a problem, Busy-Bee do want the ability to accept e-mail orders
in the near future but would you trust your credit card numbers in an e-mail -
there lies the trouble.
