Hi Frank, Yep, you're on target there, I nearly fell off my chair when I won an LX screen in an eBay auction from a well known NYC camera store @ US$15.50 only to be told that shipping would be US$26.00 :-( They finally agreed upon US$9.00 for shipping and when I received the item the USPS stamp was US$3.50, a nice juicy handling charge.
