[Wanted] HQ US version

Hello,

I hate bidding on Ebay. I'm usually too late or simply unlucky. I've already missed out on some great deals this way. I figured I post this here since everyone has been really helpfull so far. I'm not sure if I'm really going to buy everything I want because we all know what HQ is worth. But for starters I'm looking for the original cards of the HQ US version. All 66 of them. Shipping would be to the Netherlands.
I would also be interested in a US game system. If it's affordable and in good condition. The game system doesn't have to be complete. I'm more interested in the box, manuals, cards then in the miniatures.

Feel free to reply.

Yes, I've frequently checked it. I even have a wanted ad. So far only EU versions.

45 dollar for all the US cards, is that too much?

On a really good day, you can score an entire system for that.

also keep in mind you have to pay shipping, plus import taxes 21% over the price + shipping cost (if you buy a box)!
If they can ship cards in an envelope, then no problem. Be sure to ask for bubble envelopes though, perhaps with a bit of cardboard around the cards so they don't fold.

Then I will be patient. Or perhaps someone here wants to sell me one!
Thanks for the tip Sjeng. Unfortunately, it's something I already found out the hard way :(
It's funny to see that an average set from the UK would cost me around 90/100 euros (including shipping) and if I'm lucky I can get one from the US (including shipping) for 70/80 euros.
