Well, I have to say that just looking at it, the whole lot 
should fit into large flat-rate priority mail box, which is 
about $23, or half of what he wants. I recently bought a 
disk drive from a guy, and he asked me if I had a shipping 
preference, and I said, Medium priority mail flat-rate box 
should do it, around $11, but when it arrived, it came in 
a plain brown box via First Class mail for $5.65. 

I'm amazed how much money they make ripping us off for the 
shipping costs.
