UPDATE re: 35MM IB tech print purchase

As poita mentioned previously in this thread, I'm willing to purchase the print from the Italian seller for $1600. Shelling out such a big chunk of $$$ has obviously got me nervous but I'm slowly getting more info from the seller that's inching me closer to pulling the trigger. However, I cannot do this without your help in raising the funds necessary to cover the shipping cost and paypal fees (approx. $60 USD).

I've been contacted by 6 individuals, 3 of whom are able to donate $50 each and the other 3 have not specified a dollar amount yet. The seller has estimated the shipping cost to the USA to be 320 euros. This seems really high and I'd appreciated any suggestions of alternative shipping arrangements that would be cheaper. Needless to say we are not even close to our fundraising goal.

Is there anyone else who would like to contribute to this? Also, if individuals who have already expressed a desire to contribute can donate more that would be greatly appreciated.
