Liypn is shipping from China, I've seen other Chinese shippers charge
similar prices as he does.

The other person is shipping from Illinois, and $15 seems way too high for
domestic shipping, but he's got to get those radios here to the US somehow.

Either way, our wonderful free market system of supply and demand will
eventually smooth out price differences.

The PL550 is still a new product with very little US publicity. There are
rumors that it might be remarketed to the US as the Eton E10 just as the
BCL2000 was remarketed as a Grundig S-350.

Either way, the PL550 looked like a fun radio so I am looking forward to
getting mine tomorrow or Friday.
