Edit: You replied to me, so I assumed you were saying the setup I went with was pricy.
End EditI paid $26 for the mounting base and $30 for the post. Then you add the cost of whichever mailbox you decide to put on it. The vinyl mailbox setups at Lowes start at $60, so I don't think it's all that expensive.
