Don't biuy, or pay up the $'s. But I am sure an experienced Ebay'er such as yourself would be aware of the options.

You could contact the seller and say you are interested in the coin but are put off by the US$106 shipping costs and would they consider shipping through a different/cheaper carrier?

Some sellers are not aware of how high international shipping can be quoted at- especially if the have not provided accurate dimensions for the item &/or it is going through Pitney Bowes

Seems the OP is not after solutions, just an opportunity to snipe. As usual.

Didn't we go through this the last several times you've tried to buy a coin? Most members here will have lost interest, because you've been told countless times what to do, yet you ignore the advice, every single time. I've never had issues buying coins from the US. You are obviously looking at the wrong sellers.

Hello, everyone. This thread is getting a little off-topic, and interpersonal.

I cannot be the only person fed up with this picayune drip feed of insults and irrelevant content.

For goodness’ sake, stop it and focus on interacting helpfully.
