Yeah, I especially like the electric part. but is it original? and I noticed something fishy about the shipping. it says its a medium flat rate box, and ships for $20. but on the USPS site, it says those ship for just under $10.  I'll contact the seller...

I bet it takes a bigger box, and many sellers figure gas and buying a second hand box into the shipping rate, I have seen those in electric before, I am sure that it is original.

well, even a large flat rate box is $13.50 max, figure in gas @ about $2.50 a gallon, and so he must use about 3 gallons for a round trip, 1.5 gallons one way, and lets say its about a 25 MPG car, his closest post office would have to be 37.5 miles away for this rate to make sense!  if he uses the minimum rate of $11.50, he'd have to drive an old RV that gets 1 MPG with diesel @ $3.00, to drive to a post office a more realistic distance of about 1.5 miles away for the $20 rate to make sense.

My Wilesco D141 was very expensive to ship, it was not even close to being to fit in a flat rate box, and it weighed 10 pounds, it cost a whopping $30  !
