His letter said simply that shipping quote to Israel for Airmail Parcel Post is

103$ on the other hand would most likely made me wait for the next auction.
Am I misunderstanding the term "shipping quote"?
Not being very familiar with the US Post and not knowing the weight of the set I
had little ability to know the "actual cost" of the shipping.

absolutely no problem with it (and probably would pass thinking it's too high).
Thank you very much for that input,
