If only I had an extra $4.95 but I bought 3 cards last night and went broke from the shipping charges. Check out this auction I won. I'm not worried about it only because I bought this card cheap even with the shipping but probably wouldn't have bought the two Fleer Dave Righetti Rookies for a $1.99 each and another $7.00 on top of the $3.50 from the first card for the "handling".

Here's the interesting wording. Haven't really encountered anything like this in over 10+ years on ebay.

Hi there!

You need to know that for my graded card auctions that I do not reduce SHIPPING & HANDLING fees. It is not my intention to gouge anyone on the SHIPPING however all of my graded card auctions will have HANDLING charges tied to them which includes the original cost of the cards.

I'm just a collector who has much too much stuff and I've decided to trim all my collections. I'm only trying to break even on my graded cards and I price my auctions - including SHIPPING & HANDLING charges - with that in mind.

So far I've sold off over 300 of my graded cards for a monetary net loss of over $120. But even though I've taken a loss I am genuinely pleased that my cards went to new homes and that I was able to provide my customers with great deals and fast, safe shipping with courteous, professional customer service.

I thank you for your interest in my cards!

Doc
