Shipping cost is very high - should only be around US$25.00-$30.00 tops (likely even less).

I have shipped to locations in both US & Canada.

The weight of the machine, well buffered and wrapped for shipping is around 12 lbs. Carton is approx. 13" X 14" X 10" Check you local P/O for rates if you're interested and then contact seller to bargain a better ship rate - that's IMHO :roll: :roll: :roll:

I don't want one but I had been seeing them go for 200-250 and even with the $60.00 shipping that makes it $210 total. What you and others said about the shipping makes sense and also last minute bidding. I was just curious. I was never interested in the little machines--it took me a long time to use a laptop--always prefered the big, cumbersome desktops--you know, old dogs, new tricks?

It looks like it's not in good shape, to many scratches and may have a little rust. The finishes is dull and the gold is almost gone. So, it's had lots of uses. Plus the case is ruined because someone taped it. Not a good deal.
