Hi all-

First off, sorry about not offering the hood to the list first.  Oversight,
never to happen again.

You know?  I am not starting a ruckus here but. . . .

$7.50 is my standard charge for e**y stuff that doesn't weight too much or
is too bulky.  Does it cost me $7.50 to actually pay for the postage?  No.
It typically costs $4.30.  Do I re-use boxes, packing peanuts and bubble
wrap from items that have come in?  Of course (I am "green" after all<g>).
So why $7.50?  Hmmmm, let's see?  Ten minutes to box it up, probably 30
minutes round trip to the PO (including standing in the always underserved
line) and a wee-little-tad-bit 'o gasoline.  Is any of that worth money?
You bet!  Is $3.20 a bargain?  I think so.  So if $7.50 keeps people from
bidding, so be it.

BTW.  I inadvertantly set shipping on two recent items at $20, and after
both were paid for without question, refunded $10 to the buyer.  So I am not
a heartless f**k<g>. FWIW.

D.
