Tact and diplomacy (and bribery) on BookMooch

Just sent an email ...

"Dear X

I know you have chosen to send books only to people in your country, but as you are the only active member in [a bit of Europe] you may be experiencing some difficulties in converting your inventory into points for new books ..."

Kafka on the Shore. Which is not hard to get, but via Bookmooch I should be able to get it for free ... which I could, if I lived in Czechoslovakia.
