Thanks for forwarding this to the list.
Not unreasonable, but I think the seller needs to do a little more research
into shipping and crating costs. Something this big is going to be charged
by size as opposed to weight.
Cheers,
Jeff

This is a forward below from the guy selling them>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada - here's what I've worked out - bottom
line is, I want to make them available, but I cannot lose money doing so,
1. the price picked up here will be $2000 US
(about at par with Beaverbucks now anyway). That is for the top, 2 windows
and the roof vent. Windows and vent are supplied but not installed.
2. Shipped it is the above prices plus shipping plus whatever it costs me
to crate it safely for transport. I don't have a good handle on the
shipping charges yet as the crate will surely outweigh the top. I think -
and this is only a guess, that you're looking at about 200 - 300 dollars
for shipping and I should be able to crate it for 75 - 100 and you get to
keep and use a whole lot of good wood.
You're the fourteenth person to respond - I spent the day yesterday
working on a website for this project, it'll be up soon - should have been
up yesterday
but apparently there are some server demons.
If I have interest/orders from a couple of people in reasonably close
geographic proximity then I'll put them in touch with one another - then
I'll crate and ship 2 or more tops etc together, I'm sure the cost will be
the same as if one were to be shipped - when they arrive , you drive over,
strap the top on and drive back. - the two of you, or more if there is
interst, can split the shipping costs.
I can only guarantee these prices for this shipment of 10. Currency
fluctuations affect the cost of the tops, shipping and insurance. Anyway,
let me know if you're still interested. The tops really do look great and
it is really great to camp and travel in a hightop. Quieter, better
aerodynamics and a whole lot of interior space for all that stuff the
usually is cluttering up a westy on the road - sleeping bags, pillows,
clothing bags etc etc etc.
