Welcome to our world. US listings for £5 with £40 postage. Its infuriating. It would likely be possible to ship it to you for less. Since eBay started offering to sort international shipping, priced have at least doubled.

Partly because the economy option has disappeared.
Whenever I'm interested in an eBay auction in the UK or US, I ask the seller first if they will sell via USPS FirstClass International rather than via eBay's Global Shipping Program.
@Phipli @mg.man Please image the floppies and put up on the Mac Garden or site of choice. Thanks.
With minimal padding, I suspect ~£20 is more realistic if you get someone to forward it. The seller's domestic post says £3.50 fyi. I'd possibly negotiate with 68kmla member first though as there seem to be a few copies about.
Put it like this: it costs me £15.90 to send 5 AirTalks to the US tracked. There's no way in hell it should cost £42 for a MacProductFinder.
Yeah, the one that's in my pile of manuals (from @joshc) is just the paper, no discs. You're welcome to that for cost of postage if you like, but it's probably not what you're looking for.

If you can wait... I should be visiting the US next month ('folks are in CO), so I could bring one of mine across and mail from the US - I guess media mail even? I assume a sealed one (if I do indeed still have one) would be of most interest?
See my other post just now...
That sounds very generous of you. Before your trip please DM me. Thanks!
Thanks for the offer, but I would be looking for the set with disks. I appreciate the generosity!
Well, found a third set, but it's in rougher shape. So, no sealed one, but a couple of decent ones and one "pre-loved" one.

I would love even just an opened one for my collection. Let me know if you want to sell one with cheap US shipping.
Sure! I can even look into shipping from here - since it might class as "large letter", it might not be so outrageous. Drop me a DM and we'll work something out - not looking to make any killing!
Its interesting and boring. Basically just thousands of brief descriptions of products. Like a dictionary of Macintosh, circa 1990.

Actually looks pretty interesting. I wish it had photos too. That would be really cool.
Right, if you launch it in System 7.x, it throws a script error, follow the error to the script and make the changes in the highlighted text.
The script tried to delete all menus to the right of "5" (inclusive). Starting with the Application menu which throws an error. I also had to change the loop to start at 4 to remove one more menu because it expects the "Go" menu to be deleted and it isn't.
Or just run it on an older Mac

It is actually even useful for looking up products, for example random eBay things.
All prices in pounds
Bit of a snapshot in time. Pre Quadra, post LC and Classic.
By the way, it plays a little musical ditty when you open and close it
It is the only 040 product in the database!Hehe. Radius Rocket more expensive than the computer it goes in.
Doesn't fit the LC though? Or are you looking elsewhere?
