Engine block weight for postage cost

[Dazza]

I've just aquired a block via ebay but I'm not happy about their request for £25 postage.
Does anyone know how much a bare casing weighs - no internals and no chain cover - roughly?

Does seem steep dazza, Ive 1 in the shed and its not that heavy..No chance of pickup ?..Mind you Ive just been charged £7.00 for a pair of levers.. , stamps of the jiffy bag added up to £1.50.. :flaming:

Cheers for that Andy - Red had offered one too - cheers Red.

I won this one off ebay and can't even remember bidding for it Must have been a red wine bid

I'd definitely query the postage

Here's one on Ebay from resurrection Scooters for £6.50 postage

You can report them for excessive postage,personally I would.
