Price: I've been able to find only this one record of a sale in the 7in length:
https://www.antiquecameras.net/softfocuslenssales.html which lists one sold on eBay for $1,340 in early 2013.
Considering the rarity of Hyperion lenses in general, and the 7 inch lens in particular, I think 270,000 JPY / ~1,800 USD, including worldwide shipping sounds right, but I'm open to reasonable offers.
Payment: Payment is in Japanese Yen, payable via PayPal invoice or bank transfer either directly or through Wise (wise dot com, which may work out cheaper for you).
The current PayPal currency conversion rate can be found here: https://www.paypal.com/lu/smarthelp...find-paypal's-currency-exchange-rates-faq1976
Wise's rates can be found here: https://wise.com
Shipping: The price includes worldwide shipping via my choice of JapanPost or UPS. If you have a specific carrier in mind, please check with me so that shipping costs can be confirmed. Customs duties, VAT and any handling charges levied by the post office or courier in your country are your responsibility.

Buying goods online coming from a non-European Union country
As soon as you buy a product from a non-EU country, then effectively you become an importer and become liable to Customs and Excise Duty as well as Value Added Tax (VAT) payments.
