It's still not advertised as such, though, so you're essentially only bidding against people in that country. I've done this a lot and ended up with some crazy bargains because of it.

When I was really into steelbooks I'd do that often, but many auctions actually restrict you from bidding completely and a lot of sellers don't even bother responding so it was kind of a hassle. Its a must though for places like Italy and Spain where the only auctions of the steelbook you're after are domestic shipping only. But shipping there is expensive so it makes sense. Germans just seem to be wasting such cheap international shipping. It costs less to ship a steelbook from Germany to Canada then it does for me to ship to most places within Canada.
