As a "mixologist", I limit myself to simple concoctions such as a gin and tonic, bourbon and Diet Coke, or at most, a Manhattan. The ingredients required and the instruments necessary to make these are pretty inexpensive. However, I just got an email from a cocktail website that mentioned an ice pick. The blurb states:

Anvil Ice Pick - extra heavy duty ice pick with an anvil end for scoring ice. Perfect size for hand carving ice. For all international orders, due to weight, an additional $1.99 will be added per item to the total shipping cost.

Now you might think that such an implement might cost US$10, or perhaps at most US$19.95.

You'd be wrong.

Ai-yo! At that price it should pick the ice for you. Or be antique or something. Ouch!

Well, indeed. It actually should double as an ice axe if you should ever want to climb Mount Everest.

at that price, they should be able to swallow the extra two bucks postage
