It wholly depends on what the email informed you, when your item was removed from sale.
Did it explain any time period to relist the item, has this lapsed?
You will need to weigh the collection and add a shipping cost. If it is truly too expensive because of the weight this may put off potential buyers, it would reduce your scope of buyers but may result in a more successful sale if it was listed as only a collection item.
Or, you can add some of the postal cost to the starting price, and the remainder as a shipping cost, it will not then look so bad ' on paper' but you will still receive the same money.
