Where they end up after that doesn't matter. The bookseller would have no valid reason or legal standing to forbid them from buying them.
So the only legal way around geo-restrictions: make a friend in the location of choice, give them a "gift" via paypal, have them send it to you.

I've never had a need to try to pretend to live somewhere else, but I have been disappointed by geo-restriction in the past, but not enough to go to great lengths.
