mowernut,
If you are only looking at the sump gasket 271702 it would be cheaper to buy from your local mower shop as we have a flat rate Australia wide of $12.50 which covers up to 3kgs in weight. We have no problem supplying the gasket but I would suggest that you look at getting other things that you need like plugs etc so that the cost spread over the items.
The Autolite plugs have a two year warranty and are the top selling plug in the USA.
I myself prefer not to use the Champion brand of plug (it is on the bottom of the list) then comes followed by Bosch then NGK.
