CONUS only...

Yep, unless someone wants to pay for door to door tracking via Fedex or UPS.

Listed on ebay since I think all these "auctions" on Geekhack are pretty ridiculous. They aren't really auctions, at all, and people end up over paying as a result. If someone bids $100 and the next closest bid is only $80, one should only have to pay $81 or the next incremental amount. Not $100. Anyways, end of rant.

Nice set. I'd bid but I'm afraid I'd get outbid in moments.

GLWA!

It is a real auction, just not the way eBay does it.

I was considering listing them here for $140 shipped before listing on ebay. As long as I get close to that, I will be happy.

In short, you're both right. I never found a great chance to post my "rant" but I guess here it is:

Nearly every forum auction here is a first-price auction. eBay uses a proxy-bidding variant of a second-price auction. In theory they're supposed to generate the same revenue to the seller. But the most basic theoretical assumption is thrown out the window, since we as hobbyists are naturally extremely irrational, so we tend to play the first-price auction a lot more poorly by overbidding. The second-price auction is awesome because it's a much easier strategy - truthfully bid what you value the item at (the hard part, since it's usually not solely our own but a function of how other people value it), and if you win you pay what you bidded (equal to what you valued it at) or less. While I'm not sure if others share the same sentiment, I think it's an outstanding idea to post links to eBay auctions on the classifieds section. So props to shawn o for that.

Anyway, I hope this doesn't derail the thread too much; it really does look like an excellent set. GLWA.
