Dave: I am certainly not from australia and have no idea if he is sort of ripping you; but, then again, looks like cast iron and heavy; so, maybe he is not. Of course, he may just not be looking for the cheapest way, either. Give him an email asking for weight. Call ups or fed ex and see if they can give you a quote for that weight sent to you. At least, then you will know if he is shooting straight with you or not. He has 27 listings as seller and all but 1 is good. jofarr

I just bought a TO4 manifold that I think will fit off of e-bay but it is located in western Australia.
 
 
The problem is that the guy wants A LOT for shipping, here is what he quoted including insurance.
 
AIR EXPRESS- 1 WEEK- $139.00AU   
AIR ECONOMY- 2 WEEKS- $118.00AU
BOAT- 12 WEEKS- $84.00AU
 
Each AU$ will cost me about $.80.  But that still seems pretty steep.  The guy also wants a money order instead of some other way to track the payment.  Does this sound reasonable to those of you who know about shipping from australia?  Its there a better way to make the payment?  Anyone know of a better source for these manifolds?
