As a regular Discogs user I've noticed more items showing as "Unavailable In United Kingdom" recently. There's a thread suggesting a fair amount of confusion among US vendors around how VAT is collected when a UK buyer purchases via an online market place, with some vendors suggesting that it's not worth their while to sell here. I've just had a purchase cancelled because a US vendor hasn't yet enrolled with UK VAT registration, which for a £28 CD feels a bit much.

PS it occurs to me to mention that the above is politically neutral, I'm just a bloke into records and CDs sharing the vibe...
