I passsed on the 1 mirror for 44$ and am getting the 2 from Canada for 36$. I just got some decals for a Grant Rebel SST model where the guy charged me 1.50$ for shipping and handling and all he did was put them in an envelope and mail them to me. The postage was 49 cents. I have bought a fair amount of things on eBay and find for the most part shipping is reasonable. Like Rick said if you want it bad enough you'll pay the price. If I hadn't got the offer of the 2 mirrors from Canada I probably would have paid the 44$ for the one. But at least I had an option.
