On my flight home, I sat with three Kyrgyz women who were visiting friends in Philidelphia. But, yes, that is about right. Shipping tends to double the price, thanks to the incredible distance and difficulty of getting anything out of there. Plus, if the item is in America, that probably means some expensive work went in to designing it, and to ensuring quality production. funny you mention it!

That's around $30. Now, getting it to America, and the costs involved, that's another story. Hi Lewis,
