Ok, so here's what you do, you sell it for just enough to cover the cost of shipping and collect the money in advance.
Lets say $20. Shouldn't be that much as it cost $18 for me to get my axleback FedEx'ed from Tennessee to Dallas and I'm sure it isn't going to be as much as 1/2 an exhaust.
That way, you have the money in your hand, and you only have to do steps C and D, eliminating 1/2 the work. Don't know how bad it is up in Syracuse, but around here the post offices aren't that bad, and FedEx/Kinko's is deserted as far as shipping goes.
