Good call! $305 is a bit pricey for a handy Stovebolter like yourself, for a transmission that still might have to be gone through completely when you get it. You can probably tack on $60-$75 for shipping on top of the high price. For what the current high bidder will pay for this used NP tranny with shipping I have about the same amount tied up in the fully rebuilt one in my truck.
I'll keep my eyes open for one and will email you
privately 
with the first good deal I come across.
