These radios are tiny, about the size of an old transistor set. You could easily fit one into a one-rate Priority Box. $22.50 Parcel Post to ship within California?! Gimme a break. :roll:

Bob - I was watching that one, and wrote the guy about the shipping charges last week. I told him it should cost $6-8 for shipping, at most.

His first response was that it shipped from Italy, hence the high charges. I pointed out that his listing said it was in California, and then he came back saying the radio is in Florida and could ship for $10.

Something smelled fishy so I backed off. Write him, and tell us the story he gives you.
