It would be a way to circumvent customs too, as there is no customs within Germany (or Norway or whatever the country of origin), and I think one can still send stuff marked as ‘gift’ from one private citizen to the other without paying customs. I just checked the Norwegian postal service, and as far as I can tell, it’s 60 NOK ($6) for a ‘thick’ letter sent to Germany, meaning a letter with the CD inside (without jewel case). Maybe it’s the same in Germany. Let’s say the seller charges 5 Euro to send it within Germany. That’s another 60 NOK. So I pay 120 NOK for shipping, about $12. Still a LOT, but in many cases half the price.

Anyways, something to consider. It could be a trade as well.
