So let's do the math:

Seller is asking $111 that includes shipping to you and he's taking care of the Paypal charges.

Paypal is 2.9% plus $0.30 or about $3.50.

The lens sell on Ebay.de (Germany) for 22.5 Euro each or about $25/ea or $50 for the pair.

That $111 is now knocked down to about $57.50 after Paypal and purchase.

Shipping from Germany can't be that inexpensive....I'll estimate another $25 to ship them to the seller.
Then he has to ship them to you....how about another $12 for box and shipping?

That's gets the seller's profit down to $20 per transaction.

I'm OK with that and I purchased a set from the seller.

The previously advertised clear lens from another seller for $250/set were definitely a bit high in my eyes when you can get them through Ebay.de for similar price to these yellow ones.

Your math is a little off the seller charges $10.95 to ship to USA. I paid him $60.00 for a set shipped to me. Flat rate shipping in the USA is less than $7.00 and the box is free.
