Still rediculous for Priority Mail.  You can get Express Mail next-day
service for that.  Looks like he's marking up shipping just to make
more on the auction.

The things retail for $250 and I've never heard of the company, so I
woulddn't go near an auction with $150 bid and not even meeting the
reserve yet for an unknown box, but that's just me.
