Thanks!!! Anyone who checks my eBay rating (same name) can tell I am a fast payer, regardless of the cost. I will also take it on the chin when it's on me.
For example... A couple of months ago I won a bobblehead doll. GOt it shipped to my work mate in Houston, and it arrived. I subsequently left the company on account of illness (I was sick of them, and they were sick of me). Had my Houston friend ship it to someone else in my (old) office. It's disappeared. A $300 hit.
I'm not leaving negative feedback, or complaining on these boards. It's all on me. Totally my loss, in an effort to save almost $100 shipping.
Further, if I am buying a 4 figure item, I will always pay the exorbitant shipping to ensure I get the item.
