And anyone who receives it overseas needs to know the score. 

If I received that shipment from John, I would have to pay 20% on ($200
value of goods + $35 shipping + $20 clearance fee).  Sounds like $50 to me.
Let's hope they are CAD not USD.

There will be an issue for anyone who has to send it overseas and that is 
with safe shipment / insurance costs.    Global Express Mail (fastest and 
safest) for an OM-1 with 50mm lens ( 2+ lbs., shipping wt. 3 lbs.) insured
for $200 to UK $35, to Australia $30 (from NY) Airmail Parcel Post takes
longer, is less safe, cost less initially, but charges more for insurance so
total price is almost the same.
