So I've decided that my 4 foot white firestick is just too ugly for my jeep, so I want a 3 foot black one.

The antenna itself costs somewhere between $10 and $20. From what I can tell, though, shipping it will cost me $17!

Does anyone know of a good CB shop online that won't cost that much to ship to MA? There's a local electronics store that sells "Flame Stick" and some other brand for $12, but they are only trim-tune, and I'd really prefer the screw-tune.

In a related question, does anybody in the northeast want a 4 foot white CB antenna? Or, alternatively, does anybody want to combine shipping with me on a new antenna? I just found an eBay seller who has 3 and 4 foot firesticks for cheap-cheap, and so long as shipping is reasonable, I'll buy one, but I can add another to the order and share shipping with anybody that wants one (and wants to pick it up from me in NE)

From the eBay seller:

Shipping for 1 3' would be $7.00 and a 4' would be $8.00 for 1
additional one it would be $1.00 more for either size. Insurance
would be $1.40.

Cost for a 3' is $11, cost for a 4' is $14

If anybody wants one, PM me soon soon soon!

Check out Wilson antenna's. They have a great black one's in the Silver line of antennas.

Do a dexoline search for Citizen band radio and see if there are other shops you just haven't found yet.

or the same 180 degree type from Wilson (my choice personally)

Already checked there. Antenna costs $16, costs $12 to ship it to MA. No shipping or cost estimates with Bell CB, their internet ordering looks like it's from the dark ages of 1995. :-P

The antenna I ordered from the eBay seller should be arriving this week. $11 + $7 shipping is the best deal I've yet seen.
