[Elecraft] Wow, Elecraft charges a lot for shipping!

Yes, definitely.  I almost never buy anything on eBay, but did purchase 
a Bird Thru-Line with several slugs a few years ago.  It arrived with 
the meter destroyed [pretty hard to destroy the rest of a Thru-Line 
:-)].  It had been packed with two of the double large air bags, 3 of 
the 4 bags were deflated when I opened the package. No relief from the 
seller, I guess it's caveat emptor all over again.
