We are getting circular here. First, the article I am citing to and provided above is from 2009. That's the latest Morwitz article. I don't think the article you cited was more recent than that. But, in any event, I am talking about partitioned pricing in the auction environment, which is different than in the standard marketplace for the reasons you have already mentioned. Indeed, the fact that you and a substantial number of Net54 members do not believe they are being tricked means that the strategy may actually be working.

Now that sounds even more circular.:) In any event we can agree to disagree I guess.

Sure. Horse beaten. :D

Man I can't wait for HA shipments to arrive so we can post, ya know, baseball cards, on this thread

.

Since we been complaining about the shipping charges so much in this thread, figured I would post the package I got from Heritage today. At least we know we're getting $19 worth of packing materials. And yes, that is the only thing I won that was in the package.

:eek::eek::eek::eek:
That's pretty funny DJ. Maybe they didn't want someone to know there was a card inside ;).

maybe it should be called "shipper's premium" for now on.

The original intent of the thread was to announce the end of an auction. I think that train left the depot a while back. You guys can start a thread about anything you want to.....including shipping fees, interest on shipping fees, baseball cards etc......but this thread ran it's course. Thanks again to everyone how bid in the auction. I hope everyone got something they wanted. And I know there were some great buys on great cards. I couldn't be happier than to have the proverbial win-win situation.

ps...and honestly, after a week or more, I am also tired of seeing my name in the limelight so much.

pps, even though I would like to see the thread go to another page I guess if folks must post in this thread....then so be it. I hope it doesn't surpass the Monster number thread....carry on....(and ya'll at least know my feelings on the subject :))
