Before you bid, contact the German seller to see if they'll ship "weltweit" or worldwide. They have a very quick and efficient internal shipping system in Germany, but it may be a lot of extra work for them to ship beyond Europe.
Payment may also be an issue: They have a wonderful electronic funds transfer system in Germany, but if you send them a cashier's check or money order, their bank may have a steep charge to deposit it. PayPal was planning to expand into Germany for eBay users, but I do not know if or how well that was implemented. Is there a branch of a German bank near you? Perhaps they can help.
