I like the $73 postage the best

Actually that's the least offensive price! USPS shipping to Australia for such a large item is not unreasonable at $73.
 
Ten months ago I posted this thread to call attention to an eBay item priced at almost $800. This morning I found another which easily outprices the snorkelling kit; a pair of vintage Cressi Rondine Extras:

They're certainly in remarkable condition - probably "new in box", although there's no box in this case - considering such fins will be half a century old. This fin model appears in one of the Cressi-sub catalogues I have from the late 1960s and they were notable because the blades were elongated in foot sizes above European 40. So these represented the beginnings of freediving fin development, although they are dwarfed by today's extraordinarily long freediving fins.

So are these the most expensive fins in the world, or does someone know any different?
