<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1948155, member: 26302"]1. I have stated before shipping does not need to be only shipping costs. What about the cost of packaging, self insurance, and wages to get it packed and taken to the PO? I do not think anyone has a right to dictate what a firm charges for shipping and handling, it is that firm's decision.</p><p><br /></p><p>Put it this way Josh, if we should have a say in what a firm can charge for shipping, is it that far of a leap to say we should have a say in what profit margin the seller has to sell for too? How would you like to be told what is the maximum profit you are "entitled to". Overt Intrusiveness does not sound so pleasant now, huh?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Why is it our concern if people aren't paying attention to the listing? If someone does not pay attention to $100 shipping, that is their problem. Same could be said about people buying fake coins, fake handbags, 1 gram gold "bars", etc. Maybe I am just old fashioned, but I believe Caveat Emptor is the way to run a free market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
