I'm new to ordering retro computer parts overseas and wanted to ask for some advice. I'm wanting to purchase a bare OEM socket 7 chip from a UK seller. The chip itself is only $20 but shipping would be almost $25. Does that seem right or are they overcharging? It doesn't seem like a tiny bare chip should cost that much but I've no experience ordering retro computer parts overseas. Any advice on negotiating a better shipping rate, if it is overpriced? Thanks
