Apart from the price which I find horrific despite the condition I have 
only a problem with the shipping. Since you're in the US it may not 
matter, but most europeans won't bid 'cause Switzerland isn't a member 
of the EU and hence we would have to pay customs/VAT on such an import.

But really, 2000 USD for a kit with just 5 cards? Am I being too 
bargain-oriented or isn't that more or less a joke? 1000 seems fair 
enough for such a kit.
