    @tedbot,

    It's a lot of items, and there's always a damage risk when shipping. The top would need to be crated and shipped freight. Others have had these tops crated and shipped, but I don't know pricing. Might want to search the forum.

    Consider the following: I would need full payment upfront in United States Postal Service money order only. Shipping would be FOB origin (You own it once it's dropped off at shippers of your choice, and you assume the damage risk during shipping). I would be willing to deliver the top & items to a crate & ship company at a reasonable distance (1 hour or less drive) that you selected and paid for (I would recommend insuring the items fully). Items would be sold "as is" with no returns or refunds.

    Think it over and if this is still something you still want to pursue, let me know.
