<p>[QUOTE="rodeoclown, post: 1329656, member: 34005"]Remember though, it's Shipping and <b>Handling </b>costs, not just shipping. It use to irk me a little when I'd pay $2 and end up getting something shipped with just a first class stamp but then I also realize, a lot of sellers are dealers or do this for a living, so charging some for extra handling (handling is time spent making sure correct coin is being mailed, dropping off at post office or carrier, etc) isn't really that bad if it's still in a reasonable range. The only time it irks me is when I see outrageous shipping and handling costs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Say for a one coin auction, not slabbed and you know it's gonna cost them just a stamp and they're asking for $4.95 shipping and handling, that's just nonsense and I just avoid these sellers anyways. If everyone avoided them, they'll eventually get a clue and drop their shipping costs, but remember, those that continue to keep their shipping prices high to make a little extra are doing it for a reason, because ignorant buyers aren't paying attention or they just don't care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
