Across the years, I have become intimately familiar with the penchants and practices of our Pacific Rim friends. Nothing bad, but just like a substantial subset of other buyers--it is not unusual for a serious collector to maintain several Fleabay identities--and find that what appears to be a US buyer is actually someone in another country. This is sometimes done whereby the buyer has an "agent" in the US and is acting on behalf of a non-english speaker somewhere else. One only finds this out most times when that buyer that you thought was in Baltimore has a shipping address in Beijing!
