I just saw this auction for a GF-777 ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280263772569 ). Nothing too special about it and it's not "hiding" on eBay. However, I scrolled down to the question and answer section. Check this out:

Q: Hi! Could you send this item to Russia (Moscow), and how much does it cost. Do you accept payment by VISA? Thanks.. Sep-05-08

A: hi, s/h to MOSCOW is $1,250.00 4 to 6 days... NO VISA.thanks Martin

OMFGWTFBBQ!?!11! Thirteen hundred dollars to ship a boombox to Russia?!?!

Where did he get that quote? I would be hard pressed to believe overnight shipping would cost that much.

sure he didn't mean 125.00?

could be a simple mistake.....

nutter,could be an honest mistake,also he takes pp,so the russian buyer
still could use his visa card.
Duh? Hello Seller?

you have lost me there masterblaster ?

See the title of the thread.....

yup , I clearly see the title of thread !

still don't get it though , I mean, that just states the seller is canadian , because he is

True, the term greedy could be applied to sellers anywhere in the world at any time.

Could be that some of 'em overcharge for shipping... maybe.

I think Masterblaster(jesse)'s point is that why mention they are Canadian? When a US seller is less than can be desired(Part Time22 for instance), we do not say greedy US seller. I understand that (Bobby)Fatdog does not mean that Canadians are greedy, but I am sure one can understand that as a Canadian, Masterblaster read that and asked...On a side note shipping prices are higher in Canada, but not that much!
