Re: [Harp-L] Shure mics, SM57 or 58? (SPECIAL NOTE )

["Don Grubbs" <jgrud@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI
I purchased a SM 58 from a Asian dealer on eBay, and paid like $2.98  (Two 
dollars and ninety eight cents )
There were no shipping or handling charges shown on the add for the Mic. I 
assumed it couldn't add that much . . .    Wrong!   After they added the 
shipping and handling the total was about $80,00

I thought they were being deceptive so I canceled the purchase.
As it turned out, they were removed as sellers by eBay.   So maybe I was 
luckier than I knew..
Just a word of warning.....
