What a dilemma! Do I really want one that bad? How about a month's vacation in Vienna and Prague, and a side trip to Budapest? I think I could ship *myself* over and back for the same price, or less!

Zoiks!
Maybe it will backfire on them and somebody local will try to buy it, "Don't worry about shipping it, I can pick it up on my way to work for the 246 GBP."

when I see crazy shipping prices I just ask and then I get a realistic quote.

Giving the seller the benefit of the doubt, I'd sayt that when he entered his shipping into Ebay he used European convention and instead of 85.00, he used 85,00, which the program turned into 8500.

That is a really nice eBay listing. I think the shipping is a typo on the seller's part.
Or maybe it's that high to keep the riff-raff away!!
