What a pain. The problem for me is that the easiest mailing place for me is a UPS Store, but the local post office is 20 minutes out of the way =( So if I have to go to a post office I might be better off selling everything as a single huge lot to save trips/forms.Oy, can't believe that sending a book international requires that much headache =/

Is it any worse than sending something surface mail?Regarding the economy, with the US dollar falling in value with respect to the euro, it makes some US exports more competitive, including used RPGs. But it also means American citizens holding US dollars are losing money. Their savings are worth less this year than last year. Next up the US dollar will be losing money against Asian currencies.
