Dont forget that USAians can get GST (but not PST) back. Costs a stamp.

OK, I'll pay for shipping. But I don't care if these are squished down, I just
want them for parts.
And .55 on 1.70 is not a bad profit margin. In absolute terms it's not a lot of
money, but it IS a good margin.
If that's not enough, and I am serious about wanting these, mail me with what
you'll do it for... Heck, Eric and I can no doubt reburst once they get
stateside if that'll lower shipping costs a bit (mail Eric both mine and
his... we have some pending traffic)
