If it is plastic, with all those wholes, I wouldn´t touch it.

I´d make sure, though, cause it sure looks some kind of alloy, and in that case it´s a bargain.

The "plastic" a mistake. It's the standard generic grid headshell, the same as sold on ebay and other places. Great price, but then what's the shipping?

Howard there shipping is pretty reasonable. I ordered some parts for my Technics arm, and there prices are one of the cheapest around.
But I doubt that shell is plastic never know though could be.

Guessed as much

shipping is based on dollars of order
$0-$19.99=$7.99
$20-$39.99=$8.99

so about 2,67/per
Making them net out at less than 8 bucks, which is cheaper than I've seen almost anywhere

There is a 10% off coupon floating around out there as well
or
If we can find someone in Centerville, OH to go by and pick up the orders than mail em to via USPS Media Mail-could save a touch more

Of course if this is like all the other el cheapo Shells the wires will be thick pieces of nothingness and are likely best yanked off
