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.
