    Since he has other listings with shipping charges of $2.95, it appears to be an honest mistake.

    I don't know about an honest mistake, as I know someone who asked him about the shipping charge, and the seller did not respond or change the shipping charge.

    Do you know that the seller has seen that question/message yet? And what do you think is a more likely explanation for the fact that 4 of his 5 listings have a $2.95 shipping charge and only the 5th one has a $295 fee - A) that he intentionally listed a $295 charge for 1 of his 5 listings but not the other 4, or B) that he meant to make all 5 the same, but had a typo?

    Don't you think the seller would want to correct the shipping charge when questioned about it if it was an "honest mistake"? Especially near the end of an auction, when you are trying get as much as possible for tha auction.

    If an item has ANY bid on it, seller is UNABLE to edit anything to do with $$$ including shipping charges, it happened to me last night. This is an obvious typo.

    Yeah, but....once again....the seller should have responded and said that it was a typo., and posted a response to encourage more andf higher bids.

    all the seller has to do is give a discount of $292.05

    I repeat, "do you know that the seller has seen that question/message yet?" You sound as if you somehow KNOW he has seen it. If he hasn't, he couldn't have responded, and, as mentioned, he couldn't have changed the listing.

    I don't think either coin is an UNC.
    The shipping price was nothing more than an honest mistake.
