Wow, That's insane! That record is super common in North America. Even if you were to order it over ebay with shipping and all to Italy it shouldn't cost more than $20

Yeah, that's why I was saying that EVEN with shipping included it shouldn't be more than $20. There's absolutely nothing wrong with shipping being more than the price of the actual record if in the end the combined price is good. It happens to me pretty often. Look at it this way:
If a record usually goes for let's say $30 but you can get it for $3.99 on ebay and add shipping costs which are $15 to Italy. $3.99+$15=$18.99
$30-$18.99=MONEY IN YOUR POCKET!!

Don't mind me though. If you prefer have some clown charge you 10 times more just so you can get the "dusty crates" experience it's all good -> "That means more records for me plus the peeps I'm down wit."

Now i see that you come from Germany,I found many good spot in Berlin for crate diggin,Barcellona too,London and Paris on another level,on the average i pay International records 10-15€ but some old national records Like Ennio Morricone's soundtracks are undercut,i've got it for 2-3 €.
It depends!!!!

Hahah, actually I'm not from Germany. That's a quote from one of our fellow MPC-FORUMS member.

Unfortunately I can't claim to be the author of such a unbelievable quote. :lol:
