Juliecharged me $50 insurance for a $500 ($555) card. The card was rare and the hockey player famous, so I paid it--I was afraid he'd just sell the thing to the next highest bidder.
Then I chewed him out in an e-mail when the card arrived (left him very good feedback, however--it's a great card: "Cyclone" Taylor from the C57 set, about ex.). Told him $50 was what, in the U.S. you paid for $20,000 worth of cards, not $500. he said he was "very offended."
n.e.s.m. they're called. He may simply have been disappointed in the price his card brought, or, maybe it REALLY costs that much to ship a $555 card from Canada to the U.S.--I only mentioned the second possibility in tghe "chewing-out" letter.
Oh--one more thing. he waited 20 days to ship me the card, though I paid him with Pay Pal from my bank account. The card arrived in 3 days from shipping date. THAT must have cost him a lot--but he didn't have to wait 20 days to ship the thing, and I didn't demand it in 3 days from shipping date!
