Default Bestop half roof price.

i was trolling through ebay and i came across a company in the US that sells bestop roof's for jeeps among other things. The "buy it now!" price is a bit over $40. U.S. and so i asked them how much to send it over to me. They got back to me with a price and i have to tell you that i think its a bloody good deal!
after i worked out the price of the roof, air freight inc insurance and converted it to australian currency, it works out to be around $120.00 to my door! I think thats a good price yet i have never priced one in aus.
Are they as cheap as that here? or am i on to something good.
It is the one for 55-74 model jeeps.

I would prefer to buy from here, but i doubt i will get one here for that price or could i be wrong?

wooders? you would know the price wouldnt you mate?

40 bucks for a full soft top brand new is a little unbelievable, you sure its not a bikini top or something? I had a bikini top made buy a local upolsterer for $150.00

About the same price as us.
But is it a strap or strapless style?
Also available in a translucent finish but that's a few buck more...

If I was to buy again I prob would go for the tradtional stlye strap one as they seem easier to keep tight and so they flap less
