I have shipped those windows for less but that was a couple years back
before some of the recent increases.  FedEx and UPS both advised me in the
last couple weeks of surcharges for fuel going up.

The bug rear window is rather small and doesn�t weigh a lot.  Salvaged styro
and bubblewrap with some stiffeners is all you need.

What I do find curious is the range of items the guy is selling and that
they appear to be the end of a storage shed.  And then up comes a very gaudy
painted engine.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
