It's designed for locals-only, but I joined Kleinanzeigen a few years ago, and I'm in USA.Anyone ever bought of that site, I tried once and registered but didn’t recognise UK..?
Assumed it’s a locals only??
I've contacted sellers there and asked if they'd be willing to make an exception to sell to USA.
I let them know my username on both eBay and Retrobike, and invite them to checkout my feedback on both sites.
I always inform them that their LBS can pack and ship for a fee, which I cover.
I use Google Translate to be able to contact sellers in the German language, but I always double-check the translation back into English just to be sure there's no possibility of misunderstanding, and adjust back and forth as necessary before sending a message (Google Translate works MUCH better than a Hungarian phrasebook )
Sometimes I get the deal, sometimes I don't, but you'll never know until you try.
All that said, you can always try to get someone on RB who lives local to the seller to help out.
Good luck!
