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.

I am trying to take the high road here but I DO spend 2 hours a day on line checking the world over for NOS parts. I have been a member here since 2005 and I am well known for posting parts that no one else can find. I provide a service to those who buy from me. It is a free market, if you don't like the price, don't buy. The rules also state you are not to make negative comments on items being sold.

A big thank you to you for posting the link on my ad. When the last 4 lens sell, I can ask any price I want!

Thanks for your vigilance Mike Fitton.
I just purchased a set.
Just for the record, no sale lost to Mark H, as I was NOT a potential buyer at $111.

Where is my negative comment on your thread? Or are you referring to my post with the link to the original seller? If I were you I would let sleeping dogs lie, my post about you not doing any searching for this item is true as you saw the same thread here with the Ebay link that I did. You even posted on the thread!

Oh my. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) so... You're willing to screw around with shipping from Europe (does Bundespost (sorry Andy) HAVE the flat rate PRIORITY equivalent?) and begrudge a member trying to make a few bucks? All in he's really not killing a fat hog when you figure the time and effort involved. Then what do you do if the items are not to your liking? If there is a shipping glitch? Then what? Peace of mind and no bs hassles are things of beauty. Sticking one's nose in other's business? Bad beans.

These are really not a concern when paying with PayPal. Shipping to and from Europe via USPS is very reasonable. On the Euro lenses the seller had on Ebay shipping to the USA was $10.95 for both lenses and I got them in 5 days. So I paid $60 instead of $115 well worth it. I got several PM's thanking me for posting the Ebay link, just trying to help out my fellow member's. I don't begrudge anyone for making money and I understand some people don't like to buy from Europe.
