I bid on a 2 oz bottle of GC red insulating varnish with starting bid of one cent. 7 day auction. no one else ever bid, so I got it for 1 cent + shipping total price 7 bucks.  Shocked

first time for everything I guess. I like to use this stuff as a combination solder joint sealer and HV arc protector for contaminated parts.

sounds likethe shipping's gone up! Is that a spray, or more like a goop or a corona dope?

I got a pile of GC electronic contact cleaner GC No. 210-4 / Walsco No. 80-04 - it was given to me if I would "get rid of it". 
Had to drive to Fort Worth (80 miles round trip) to get a case (16 bottles?) of it. contains 1-1-1-Trichlorothane, whatever that is. It does work well.

Superb degreaser and cleaner!  Excellent flux remover.  Excellent all around cleaner and solvent.  Good stuff!  Don't breathe it.   Use  ventilation.    Good score!

I guess shipping is not so bad. Just looked high in comparison to the fantastic price!
Maybe when you use it, you can show us the before and after pictures?
