Judging from the state of the feather and the ink on the tip of the quill, it's certainly used! Tongue

I don't have one of these, but the Prisoner of Azkaban Events and (some)theatres in Japan had ink, quill, and parchment sets (different packaging). They were selling for around 2000 YEN (24.15 AUD). I've seen them on ebay once in a while!

The feathers, though, are much better than this one!

You guys have it easy... it's $123 shipping to Australia Undecided

That's hilarious - I have had UPS signed for and insured delivery on 3 PoA boxes and a set of United Cutlery knives (both significantly larger and weighing substantially more than this) and shippinng was about $50-60 for each!

This guy is really taking the mickey out of people on this - maybe we should send him an email entitled 'Are you SERIOUS???'

How much!!? Shocked
You could hire the plane for that!
Maybe someone should email them and tell them to 'Bog Off and pull the other one!' Tongue

Can't you report people like this seller to eBay if their shipping quotes are too high?
Sounds like they want you to pay for their airfare to bring it to you personally ... Roll Eyes

He's probably charged it for triple it's actual weight, and also he only ships via UPS Worldwide Express (1-2 days) to anywhere outside the US. There are many more ways to ship something like that for a 5th of the -cough-ripoff-cough- price... Roll Eyes
