I have asked a similar question in the past and the shipping has turned out
to be much less, but not always. I am going to the USA in July, I wouldn't
mind a spare one of these cables, so if I could get him to ship me two
inside the US I could bring one back for you too.
Regards
Rob

From the USPS website:
If it would fit into a USPS Priority MailR International Small Flat
Rate Box, 8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8", Maximum weight 4 pounds the
shipping would be $16.95. I'm not sure if it would fit one of those
boxes without trying. Maybe not.
The next size up Priority MailR International Medium Flat Rate Box,
13-5/8" x 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" or 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2",
Maximum weight 20
pounds is $47.95.
No idea what the eBay shipping calculator is using to come up with the
$150 shipping.
I bought a couple of these BC19S cables to have
as spares for $18
each, including shipping. Haven't seen a cheaper price recently.

Very nice, but $150 to ship to the UK? I
could almost fly out and
pick one up for that.... answer...
