That hurts. Keep looking here and on ebay. I have sold three of them over the years, they average $3-400. The other thing is you had that damn Picco paperweight engine adding a lot of money to that deal. The shipping thing, maybe you can explore some alternative shipping companies, but I am not that surprised at $180. I got an A-4 from canada a couple of years ago, I don't remember what carrier, but it was $75.
