I was a little hesitant of sending overseas since I have no experience of this, and I didn't really think that there would be that much interest. I have responded to a message on eBay (somebody called 'Owen' ) explaining that I would be willing to transact with overseas buyers, as long as they are fully aware of the additional costs that they may incur, and as long as they don't expect me to do all the work at this end to sort out the logistics.
I really do think there will be interest. The Hetchins name is known in the US. The N.O. name is much less known (AFAIK), but this auction will have legs, I'm certain.
