The US have BTC to USD, we have close to nothing (TH are there for the lols, MTGox you trade for useless vouchers)....
I'm not talking about money but more like assisted purchase, select the online item you want, click, send coins and we buy the product... sort of trade in your coins for gear
Spendbitcoins offers something along the lines you're talking about. I'm not sure where Jeremy's located, but as they offer Aussies the option to BPay with Bitcoins, I'd guess that he's local. If you have contacts with other traders, a joint venture of some kind might be possible.
