Just as I was going to hit the button, I noticed that the shipping costs were almost $74, (from New York State to New York State).  I wrote the seller, (who has 100% positive feedback), to see if this was a miss-print  but got no answer.  A second letter also got no response.  I guess a lot of buyers don't mind paying large shipping costs as long as they get a good price on the item.

I don't know about this one, as you do not give anEbay number, but 
sometimes it's because they choose a high priced method of shipping by 
default. I often ask if shippers will be willing to use a cheaper 
method. I have saved a lot of money when buying car parts overseas. 
Speaking of car parts, there is a Dave Burnham who is into Citroens. 
That's not you? Do you get his mail sometimes?
