I'm in the UK and am often frustrated when a nice piece of kit is

nice looking units because of this. There's one sitting there just now
just to tease me!
Is there anyone on the list who'd be willing to act as an intermediary
(take delivery and resend) to circumvent this?
I'd certainly be prepared to help in a similar manner any stateside
time-nut frustrated at EU sellers who won't ship outside Europe (could
help reduce customs fees as well by marking as returned from repair etc.)

You will find many of them will if you ask. One I recall saying "Why
don't you just bid on it?"
I don't know if the default it to only ship to the USA, but I have
bought plenty of kit from people who say they will only ship to the USA.
(I'm in the UK too).
If you don't mind taking the risk, you are more likely to get them to do
it if you agree to wire the money, rather than use Paypal. Sellers know
Paypal is a bit of a risk with the chargbacks, and they are probably
more concerned when the buyer is in another country.
