Slap it on ebay, although your best bidders will be from Italy, which is dubious posting, there seem to be some really avid Nikko collectors in Italy.

I think the post office in Italy is filled with thieves. I've had two things go missing to italy and it's why I won't sell there.

It's the Mafia. They steal the packages and then resell the contents.
