What am I missing?  What has happened in the last few months to make all poster sellers on ebay decide that International shipping is not worth their while?

Royal Mail delivery?

Tubes do exist that can thwart even the most persistent of package wreckers.

I find myself disappointed.

Simes,

If it is something you just can't get elsewhere, can't you find someone in the U.S. to have it shipped to?

Yes - for the one-off item, it is something I have done before.

However, for the sheer number of US Skyfall variations, the initial idea was to find one person who could find them all at a reasonable price (perhaps too early for that, admittedly) and ship 'em all - in one tube.  This, to save on the $14-20 postage per poster, which at 10 US posters and counting, represents a chunk of postage.

To then times that by 2 (seller to US friend and US friend to me) seems to be dedication above and beyond the sanity I was born with.

If I weren't busy beyond all degree of reasonableness, I would start a new business as a consolidator for non-U.S. people who buy from U.S. sellers. You get your items shipped to that business, and then, whenever you are ready you have all your accumulated purchases sent to you. There are businesses in Japan and elsewhere that do that with eBay sellers.

Maybe someone else can start this someday.

But you have to be weary of places that do things like this as well ...

Guys,

It seems there are a few more versions of the white US 1 sheets doing the rounds except all those pertaining to the November related dates. (Nov, Nov 9 Nov 9 in IMAX)

They are;

October
October in IMAX
December
December in IMAX

Are there any poster dealers here that could secure all four for a deal?

Many thanks.
