It is one thing to say that globe will be $80 to ship and that's what I will ship this for. Another thing to say I've done this before and it's never been more than $80 to ship. I think to many assumptions were made by everyone. Everybody heard what they wanted to, without considering what was actually being said.
At the end of the day, if the globe is worth it, then be happy that you are fortunate enough to own it. If had a choice I would rather have another piece in my collection then another $100 in my wallet.
