Albeit a cheapie weepie.  I had wanted to get one at least to see how it's mechanisms work.  That prompted me to see what there was available on Ebay.  I found this item for sale from the UK and found it's shipping charges to be conspicuously absent.  Are the rates only high going in and not out?

Do you have a listing number, searching for that listing title on eBay UK isn't bringing up any matches.

Although it says from UK, am wondering if it is dispatched from China or Hong Kong (for example). Usually the wording in the description text is a good clue.

You can get those for $5 at Wal-Mart.  I have several I use for mosquito control with the citronella oil.

I see.  I might get one there.   They want so much for the older lanterns.
