There are lots of ex-pat Americans living abroad, there are also lots of non Americans who collect "Americana". And if there is someone outside the US looking for Opie & Anthony memorabilia, it will be harder to find outside the broadcast area, so they are liable to be prepared to pay more, sometimes a lot more.
A good example is American breakfast cereal. How much do you pay for a small box? In the UK it sells for between (the equivalent of) $7 and $10 per pack, simply because it is not commonly available here, so ex-pat Americans and British fans of America will pay through the nose for it! (You may remember a while back I posted that I had bought some American "spray on cheese" on eBay because I had heard it mentioned on TV. I forget how much, but that cost me an insanely high price for the same reason, and that was just for a can of Kraft cheese!)
When selling on eBay, whatever you are selling it is better to "post internationally" (assuming eBay don't charge a lot for the service) because, although in most sales it will make no difference, it will in a few, and over several sales you will make a lot more.
