I once sold a machine on e-bay the shipping express place weighted it and told me the most expensive shipping would beabout $50.00. i did sell it to someone in Col. from Ohio to there it was less so I refunded the few bucks. Just be ware of things from straign places like one guy said it was for someone in a strainge country and to first send it and then they would send the money. good luck guess this doesnt apply to buying but be careful if you pay with pay pal you wll be protected
