Yipes, $100 USD for shipping. I've shipped big stuff from the US before and
it me $30 - $40 USD.

Yes, I'd never buy a monitor off E-Bay unless it were from a Canadian source
(for that matter, I have a bit of an allergy to used monitors -- that's
perhaps the one thing I'm not religious about buying used (used computers
offer me as a student a better price-to-performance ratio than new (though,
I could pick up a new G4/733 40MB + *top of the line* 19" monitor for the
same price that I was willing to pay for a *used* three-year-old (in 1994)
Quadra 700/33 20 MB + 14" monitor (and, that's not factoring in the fact
that with inflation $3100 in 1994 would translate to $4100)))
