Some of the people selling on eBay are a bit nuts in their shipping (and regular prices). Knowing what it costs me to ship heavy stuff cross country (and realizing that a box and packing materials aren't free), seeing a $50+ cost to ship something big and heavy is perfectly understandable. When I see those crazy shipping charges for a tiny power supply or the like, my thought is 'good luck with that!'.

Yeah, it's pretty common to see shipping costs as part of the price. Some smart ass even offered a nice piece of equipment for 49 dollars, only to add another 150 in shipping. Some poor sod might just fall for it.
In this case, shipping was fairly reasonable, considering the distance and maybe some additional charges for packaging materials and time spent. It seems to be an actual shop, so they need to factor those costs in. However, all the prices were at least 150% of what they should be. As far as I could tell, it was just a regular chassis fan and a regular 3,5 mm jack cable. Sure, they were from recognized brands, but not rare or desirable in any way I could tell. All the other stuff was equally optimistically priced.
They weren't realistic when responding to offers either, so it was probably for the best to run into the three offer maximum. I never knew there was a thing, so I'm glad to find out now, rather than when I really do want the object.
