I know!! Shipping from here out of the country is so expensive. I recently sold a guitar on ebay and I had inquiries from Australia, Singapore and Austria. The shipping was in the range of $450.00 to $700.00 by UPS. I ended up selling it to a lady in Austria and I split the cost with her, as I felt bad about how expensive the shipping was, plus she had to pay import tax. There may be a less expensive way to ship, but I didn't look into that.
