i don't know exactly, but there is something up. it's not just on heavy items like this. i've bought several small items from the UK over the past few weeks, all about the same size/weight. one guy wanted almost 3x as much as everyone else. there's a midi interface up there right now i'm looking at that has a starting price of 10ukp, but will cost me 30ukp to get it here! that's $80, and only if nobody else were to bid on it. could jump to $100 or more pretty quick. from someone else it might cost me $15-30 shipping. what gives? this is money that i'm not able to bid towards the item so i may lose out on something that i would actually pay a lot more for...

actually, i'm not even talking about the difference between US>UK and UK>US. i'm talking about two vastly different shipping quotes from two UK sellers for basically that same item. one guy wants 8-12ukp, the other wants 30ukp!! same size/weight just about.

ahh, sorry. good thing though - after contacting him he cut the shipping in half. still $30 to ship, but far better than $60! some people aren't this reasonable though...
