Un-freaking-believable. The guy paid, but he did comment that he thought the shipping cost was quite high based on his past experience shipping Ger-USA. I agreed and I'll credit him the difference between estimate and actual.
So I take most of it back, he's not a moron, and with the exchange rates swinging heavily in everyone else's favor other than the US of A. I don't blame people from outside the continent for bidding on Ebay items regardless of what the shipping terms state. I was on a cruise recently on which there were a great many Canadians, mostly from Toronto, the exchange rate was so good in their favor they just didn't care and spent money with reckless abandon.
