I had a guy from Japan bid on an auction where I'd marked 'US and Canada
only', but he emailed first to ask if I could ship to him anyway.  I
explained to him that the item was very heavy and would be expensive to
ship, and he was okay with that, so I told him he could bid.  Unlike
your case there was no reason I physically couldn't ship it, I just
couldn't imagine that anyone would want to pay for it.  It was an old
amateur radio tube transceiver, with accessories, and totalled close to
100 pounds when packed into three cartons!
