Overseas shipping with heavier parts is sometimes costly.  These aren't too heavy, but multiples are likely to add up.  They can be put in a padded envelope and sent First Class International, which is a pretty economical way to do it.  Actual shipping costs will have to wait until they are in the store and you are able to get a real-time quote from the USPS.

I haven't really fixed the pricing on these yet, but due to the expense of the specialized inserts, and the fact that they are so hard that they wreak havoc on drill bits, it looks like it will break down as:

$5.95 each for the solid colors
$6.95 each for the translucents

Folks should keep in mind that there are cheaper knobs out there, but these use a quite different material, are totally seamless, and designed to look and feel good for a long, long time.  They can even be re-polished 20 years down the road, if necessary, to bring back the original luster.

I'll try to get these on the store in the next few days.

Randy

I actually thought the same thing.  I'm excited for the pale yellow for my Joust project, and hope a pale blue comes along some day too, but I'll probably just get a darker blue in the mean time (going to have to finish this joust project sooner or later).

Cheers Randy. The prices seem very reasonable and hopefully that will translate well enough to get them to the UK for a good price as last time I ordered I got stung with customs charges.

FYI Randy I've now found out that anything over £35 in value will be subject to VAT @ 15% when it arrives in the UK so may I suggest declaring the package value at cost price rather than retail to help us brits out and maybe encourage a few more to consider US->UK orders.  ;D
