[Milsurplus] RAK RAL Shipping

[Joe Connor]

It's funny, but I've been noticing fewer big boatanchors on ebay and qth.com over the last few years, and I'm sure high shipping costs have a lot to do with that.

 Honestly, are many of us willing to pay the
shipping it would take to send a reasonable RAK or
RAL across country today?  Think about it before
you say "yes."  
An RAL weighs 69 lbs; it cannot be shipped by
USPS.
A 75 lb package, 24x24x24 inches via UPS Ground
from Dallas to Las Vegas would cost $110.
And given the expense of shipping, how would that
affect the value you'd place on purchasing one?
Granted- you can get money, and you can't get an
RAL at WalMart.  But would you?
