Sorry. Just can't help myself sometime.

Interesting that this seller has several of these "pearl queen" F-styles up for sale, and this one's the lowest priced...?

Everything else aside, the shipping price has nothing to do with any custom duties, import duties, taxes etc. That's on the buyer and I don't know how that is handled on an Express Mail Service delivery. That would be on anything over $200.00 sale price. Then there is a separate duty on anything made in Vietnam.
No need to get into all that.

Thank you, I think y'all just saved me from a purchase I'd have regretted. I'll admit, I'm a sucker for dragons: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alulu-Arc....c100033.m2042.
It might be rubbish, but it's so pretty! (To my untutored eye, anyway.)

I see this got revived after 2 and a half years. Just noticed it came with a case.

Two and a half years isn’t bad for a revival, some have gone five or six. Just so people use the information to best advantage, age doesn’t matter. It’s good to learn from older informers too(read “Old coots” like me) when they have something important to share.
Right?

Same here. Never realized it came with a "Hardened" case?
