I'd be glad if the big shops (Mouser, Digikey, Conrad) could set up some pool solution... everything one can do as a private person opens up a hellhole of liabilities: international shipping (and tracking), return rights, warranties, import/export tariffs, import/export arms control (GPS receivers come to my mind), CE/RoHS compliance, international taxes (VAT, sales taxes, the US with their mind-boggling state/county/city additional taxes), supply chain integrity (people don't want their "pool buy" for 20 bucks turn out a counterfeit, and it's hard enough for big companies to secure that one).
