Are there any stats for the location of buyers, casual browers (that'd
have to be based on IP) and sellers? Looking at that front page it looks
purely an American affair at the moment, with a couple of strays.
I'd use it for listing my collection and interests. I couldn't really
use it for buying or selling though, as shipping to/from the UK just
makes it uneconomical on anything but the smallest items unless they're
located in this country.
Does anyone else on this side of the pond have any idea where all the
classic collectors are lurking? Generally, they don't seem to be on this
list. It'd be nice if the VCM reached a wider (non-US) audience...
cheers
