Ironically, I bought an expensive (~$1500) giant framed 24"x36" picture from them a month or two ago, which must've weighed a ton. Packed super well too - I figured I'd be charged a mint for shipping. They charged me $25, and I guarantee them it cost them much more than that to actually ship that.

They must have some hideous program to calculate shipping, which isn't based on what the items actually are. Unfortunate they overcharge some and undercharge others - this is important to get right!

I've noticed that some large items from "Runt Auctions" seem to have super-low shipping, also! Leon, you might want to start collecting bulkier items.

Reminds me of my all-time best shipping coup: Mastro. Won a lot of over 500 signed baseballs. Came in 3 boxes, my wife had to help me get each one in the door. My UPS driver wouldn't speak to me for months. Total damage? Under $30 shipping!!!! Someone must've gotten fired for that one.
