<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 267963, member: 8033&quot;]For starters you KNEW shipping was $2.50 and agreed to that when you bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many angles to look at here. If I see a guy with a feedback of 10 with 1 small item listed and shipping is $10 I don&#039;t even bother (not that I would but it&#039;s an example).</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you have people running thousands of auctions and in many cases they are actually PAYING someone an hourly rate to package and ship these items. In that case S and H makes a lot of sense. These sellers are selling to make a profit. Not break even.</p><p><br /></p><p>My selling usually goes in spurts. My shipping is usually way cheap or free. Why? - because I sell what I list and get a lot of repeat business by keeping it as low as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>My latest &quot;big&quot; purchase cost me $650. The guy I bought it from sent it for free as I&#039;ve dealt with him for years. I looked at what it cost him to ship and it was OVER $13. He always ships to me for free but I have spent thousands with him in the past several years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line is that you factor in your shipping costs with your bid. If its high bid low and hope but if I bid $7.50 on that coin in my mind it would be a $10 bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is also why I rarely sell rolled coin. It&#039;s just plain expensive to ship and I&#039;m not going to eat it as a seller for a few bucks profit. At that point I may as well just spend what I&#039;m selling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
