You gotta get a bit wiley with your negotiating! Postage too costly? It sure is..........but here's what you do:

Contact the seller. Tell them you only want the instruments or whatever it is you are interested in. If 'buy it now' is acceptable to you, tell them they can keep the rest & relist, give em away or whatever they want to do with them. Ask about a revised postage cost for the greatly reduced weight and bulk of the pod alone.

Done this several times with success & struck a fair deal each time.

If they are not interested..........well you lost nothing and maybe you will word the email proposal better next time.
