As others have said, your time, gas prices, duties etc. will eat up a $200 difference pretty quickly. I just got drilled $35 on a $45 set of clips I bought over three months ago by FedEx for warehousing fees etc. That's a bit of a hidden cost, because I had no idea how much it would be or if it was coming at all. What looked like a great deal wasn't that amazing as it turned out. Unfortunately, I didn't have the option to go USPS. Packing a full size bike to USPS size limits can be challenging and not all vendors offer it. +1 on ebay.
