The Swedish / Scandinavian ebay: I managed to register for this this week - took emailing with them - but often the best auctions are restricted to "Swedish/Nordic" bidders. A beautiful Helje No. 33 (I think it was 7/8! At least 6/8...) sold for $75. I was dying. Grrrowl.

Anyone else run into this problem? I dont understand why a seller would do this. It clearly just limits the pool of bidders and thus likely lowers the final selling price.
