seller: artfromny

Will ship to United States, Mexico and Central America, South America, Asia, Australasia, Europe, Canada, Caribbean

I wonder if he will ship to Eurasia and Eastasia, or possibly Oceania?

You would think a power seller with +2,000 in feedback would have a better grasp on on geography. I also find it somewhat strange that he specializes in arcade games and yet has a page of listings for things like cream and suger sets, candy dishs, earrings. Maybe his ID should be 'artfromma'!

You do realize that Australasia is a region of the world, down under that includes Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, and a bunch of other islands..

Still everytime I see that listed in auctions I crack a smile. :)

Correct, that's a term that includes Australia, New Zeland, New Guinea, and all the other small islands around there. Indonesia is usually included as well, and I've even seen the Phillipines there sometimes. :)

Yup, Australasia is alive and kicking. I hope you didn't already send your trademark smarmy email pointing out his foolishness, cause you could end up with egg on your face! :D

I never heard of that as a region, but does it make sense to list regions as areas you ship to? Countries and continents I understand, but there are dozens of regions! I never saw anybody list in their auction that they ship to the South Pacific, the Middle East, Tropic of Capricorn, or the North Pole.

Any way I didn't ask him about that, but I did ask him about what the story was behind all the cream teacup items. He was not too happy about it neither.
