threx Posted October 7, 2002 Author Share Posted October 7, 2002 although for the V I would expect more... I also have yet to take up golf... better luck next time. Quote Link to comment
+creagerstonefamily Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Twenty dollars for shipping and handling, with optional insurance????? That's outrageous. Quote Link to comment
threx Posted October 8, 2002 Author Share Posted October 8, 2002 I sold the V... Although I do agree that $20 is a little steep, I have to admit I do have to earn money somewhere. Minus all the listing and auction fees, I barely make enough over to make it worthwhile buying and selling the item anyway. Tuition is getting expensive. That's why the terms are there in big font, to make sure people understand what they're getting into. In spite of that, I carefully package all my items (bubble wrap and shell styrofoam). I also add an index of helpful websites and suggestions for the item they purchased. Plus, I ship on the same day of payment approval. Where else would you find some personalized service?

threx Posted October 8, 2002 Author Share Posted October 8, 2002 I only earned $5.93 off that exorbitant shipping fee. Enough to buy me a value meal @ McDonalds. Quote Link to comment
+creagerstonefamily Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 >Where else would you find some personalized service? ...at my auctions and website. :-) Actually, I don't provide links, but most of the stuff we sell doesn't require them. However, I've found my five month old baby's attitude is directly related to the anxiousness of the customer to receive the order. Quote Link to comment
