I hate to say it, But, You are not getting anywhere near 300 for a DP anymore. If you can find his earlier work, Such as his spliced cues, They get upwords of 1K. Good luck on the Deployment. Been on several, all to the 'Stan.
On a serious note though. I would send it to someone you trust, like a family or a close friend, Or you could ask your CO if he/she could keep it at their place.
Take it from a Group guy.
