Title: Need a way of cheap transportation to Italy
Post by: ckong on August 20, 2010, 06:54:31 PM: Guys, I'm selling some japanese candy cabs, and at the moment I have interest for a beautiful Egret 3 (http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=12080), also known as an ugly plastic piece of ..... ;)

However, the guy is living in Florence, Italy, and now I'm searching for a cheap way to get the cab there. I of course asked a few quotes from transport companies, but their prices are pretty high.

any good ideas here?
