Actually, in practice, the sale is often considered to have taken place in the bank where you have your credit card, or in the address where you have your legal residence (as per passport or driving license).
The most annoying issue with these split rights and geographic restrictions is when some publisher, which has the rights to sell in some countries, makes an ebook version, while another publisher, which has the rights to sell in other countries, does not. Otherwise, I would not mind that much being obliged to buy from a given publisher.
