    Now maybe I'm reading this wrong but that's way too much to charge for foreign shipping for such an item. What a bastard !

    That is pretty expensive. But that covers every country. Email him and ask if you can get a cheaper rate.

    Funniest thing I have heard all day. I realize you guys probably dont wanna pay ridiculos price. But if it stays low its worth paying the $20 shipping for.
    Somebody make me a "CGE 2k7 Attendee banner" so I don't have to use this lame text

    Yes, thanks a lot! The seller is extremely nice. Despite her 20.00 overseas charge, she charges exact shipping and it very nice to work with so I recommend you all shop with her.

    Christ, for $20 you could probably send right around the world a couple of times.
    If there's one thing that pisses me off more than sellers who won't ship outside the US (y'know, if they don't want all that extra hassle involved in writing about 3 words on a customs label ), it's the ones that slap you with a ridiculous fee for 'privilege' of doing so.
    It's like "OK, you don't live in the glorious USA, so I'll make you pay about 3 times what I'll actually spend on shipping". Bastards.

    I know I could send a NES game from the UK to US (insured upto a value of £28) for about £2.50, and I can't imagine it'll be that much more in reverse.

    Which is'nt TOO bad to pay. Tracking, though, costs MAJOR money.
