A little help in Italian?

[Joshs]

I just won an auction for an older Jouef diecast NSX on ebay, and the guy wants 77 euro's to ship it out.

http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=6033994613&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT

Obviously I'm committed to pay whatever he demands, but I was hoping that someone who knows Italian could help me out with a nice way to ask if there are any other options available.

Here's what he said so far:

'77,00 EURO WITH UPS SERVICE...
NO SEA WAY......'

I'd like to say something to the effect of:

"77 Euros seems a bit high, are there any other shipping options that are less expensive?"

I know I could try an online translator, but I'm hoping that if it sounds right I'll have better luck in reducing the shipping.

Thanks!

Thanks for the lead - I just decided to pay up, since I didn't want to take too long, and it's my fault for not asking ahead of time. Oh well, not a great deal overall but at least I got another NSX to look at, hopefully I can stop buying them soon!

77 EUR is Ripoff!!!! I would say that it should cost in thr 40 EUR for UPS...

Anyway, if you still need it:

"77 EUR sembrano davvero un po' tanti... non e' che ci sarebbe una altra opzione meno costosa?"

Nice collection but you should snag a display case from IKEA. They are cheap and look great.

You're right, I do need a display case, but so far I've mostly seen expensive ones. I hadn't thought of looking at IKEA! Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.

It is probably good marketing...
