Shipping price isnt unreasonable, considering the large box, packing materials, taking into account possible residential address adder, ebay taking their 10% cut on "total" price of sale (including shipping fees), and insurance on the package. It adds up quick for the casual seller that doesnt have a warehouse full of supplies for shipping stuff. He should have just rolled that $29 into the auction starting price, and offered free domestic shipping thou, since ebay is taking their cut either way, and everyone likes to think they are getting something for free on the purchase.
