It sounds like you had an enthusiastic seller. ("They're thinking about buying? I'll take that as a yes!")

I don't know how you could have missed the shipping costs, as they're usually prominent enough to be easily seen – unless the seller decided to get sneaky and hide them.

Ah well. You live and you learn / It's a teachable moment / C'est la vie / Que sera sera / [insert appropriate cliché here]...

I used to buy rechargeable batteries on Ebay from Hong Kong. Price was usually 1 cent for 12, but $20+ for postage. Still, it was cheaper than buying them at the local supermarket, and some of them even worked.  :o

Bloody hell this is one of those tell him he's dreaming moments the seller could have a least offered free postage.

At least there's the "Make Offer" button. You can offer the seller $10. Couple that with the $20 postage and you have yourself a $30 album. Easy.

Funny this should come up now. I was watching a repeat episode of Spick's and Specks last week and Andy Anderson aka Andy James from the Mk2 line-up of the band was on the show. According to the discussion on the show this was /is (at the time the show was recorded) one of the most sought after and  supposedly  rarest and hardest to find Australian albums of the time. Even though, at this price it would be impossible to justify the expense.
