even worse they block everyone from contacting them who doesn't live in the U.S, so I cannot even beg them to ship overseas.
Sadly, I suspect that that's the very reason they put the comms-block on - they were sick and tired of overseas people begging them to make a special case, just for them.
ebay, PayPal and the USPS have conspired to make shipping coins oversaes from America fraught with difficulty, especially shipping coins to Australia which the USPS says is against regulations. More and more US-based sellers are refusing to send internationally for that reason.
But I feel your pain and frustration. It took me three years to find a
ebay seller who was prepared to sell me an American 20 cent coin in reasonable condition.

not too sure how to contact him, unless I go through and find a post.
also more importantly, doesn't he live in aussie land too?
Yes but he would have far mor US contacts than me or you mateActually, I don't have many contacts in the US, not for proxy bidding and shipping stuff, anyways. I hardly ever even try to buy stuff from there and I've never asked anyone there to proxy-bid for me. If you're still stuck and you need someone in the US to be your proxy bidder, can I suggest getting in touch with one of the US-based mods like rggoodie. You can send any of the forum moderators an email by clicking on the send email link in any of their posts or on their profile, or by sending an email direct to [theirusername]@coincommunity.com.
