I realize lots of sellers won't ship out of the states, but it's just a 
matter of buying from a vendor who will.
eg: <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5105796507>

I don't actually know the rez of this example, but keep in mind you _can_ 
use an earlier screen in a late TiBook if you can live without those few 
extra pixels.

Also, it's easy to email a seller to see if they may be willing to make 
an exception to their normal policy. Plenty of sellers will do anything 
you ask if you are willing to pay them for their trouble. It may be worth 
paying a premium if you save a considerable amount over sourcing the same 
item locally.

Really, it's a matter of your budget and time constraints. If you can 
wait for a few days (but might be weeks) and check eBay regularly, you 
_will_ find what ye seek. If you can't wait _and_ you have the budget, by 
all means source what you need immediately and get on with life. :-)

Just apply masking to the LCD face, the actual screen, right beside the 
LCD frame-edge (along side where the bezel face will go.) You just want 
to keep glue from getting on the face of the actual LCD screen itself (I 
imagine, anyhow! :-)
