Are there any stats for the location of buyers, casual

purely an American affair at the moment, with a couple of strays.
Hi Jules.
I'll have Patrick respond with regional statistics. But as for the system
itself, it's definitely geared towards an international user base. We
added multiple currency support a while ago and have always intended a
global scope.
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.
That's my next business plan :)
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...
I'd like to know as well...
