Is there a place beyond ridiculous?

I know people are entitled to ask what they want for things they are selling but this seems a tad excessive.

Pat: The seller is from Japan and it's FREE Shipping. You have to figure that in. The W113 and its parts may be extremely rare over there.

Recently saw one for sale for about 7/8000 USD in France
Still relatively cheap compared to the japanese item but very rare and attractive for those who owns a California version and believe the conversion is easy, and the value profitable

"Shipping and packing is not included and is the responsibility of the buyer" it says in the description.

It appears to be from an earlier 230SL with the chromed external finisher on the rear bow.

While it says that in the description, it is officially listed as "Free Shipping"
