http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motospeed-Inflictor-CK104-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-Backlight-Gaming-RGB-SL-/112336478672
Shipping this via standard shipping within the seller's home area of NE USA will be $72.99.
Clearly this is a VERY heavy keyboard.

Let's hope not, osmium is toxic as ****.

Not confusing at all, osmium is a valuable metal!

Not osmium, just aluminum.

International shipping costs the same amount, apparently ...
Many years ago, you would often see eBay sellers with inflated charges for shipping so that they could keep the official price low to attract more bidders and to keep eBay's cut low. I thought that eBay had clamped down on that though.

ebay doesn't care anymore. because they changed their policies. Now Ebay fees are taken from total price including shipping.
You can see how this totally screws over the seller, because Ebay's shipping calculator calculates exact real shipping, but Ebay charges 9% of that as well when deducting fees. If shipping was $100, item sold at $10, ebay will take $9.90 + more other fees leaving the seller was less than nothing.

Hey, I just found out why it's so heavy: The body of Jimmy Hoffa (http://historycollection.co/killed-jimmy-hoffa/) is in it.

Nonsense, you see the seller location (NE USA)?
There are bugs in the board used to wiretap Donald Trump.

Okay, then, if it wasn't osmium, one of The Osmonds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Osmonds) could've been in it. No one's seen most of them for a while.

well it ended up selling for around twice what it costs to buy the keyboard on banggood

Ah. I should never have spilled the beans about the Osmond thing.
