Another sad experience with the same seller (sonicadvantage) ... just for the record. I asked (via eBay - "question about shipping for this item")

I am looking at the Leach - nice card! If I win it, can I have it shipped US mail at a traditional rate, rather than UPS Ground? Thanks for offering the card for purchase.

The way over the top (IMO) response - sent to my email directly, and not to my ebay Messages...

Like stick it in an envelope and stick a stamp on it? Priority is well over 5.00. Parcel post is thrown on the porch and has no proof of ever existing. Insurance is a joke and can take 2 months to recoup lost funds.

Is a 2.00 increase from a 5.00 charge to a 7.00 package really not worth all the time and effort you put into your collection. My grandfather and father spent their entire life on this collection. Have you seen those itiots at the post office? I wouldnt trust them with something I bought at wal-mart moreless something we have been protecting for nearly 100 years in my family.

Sorry for the inconvienence but I pay a minimum of 7.05 to ups and pay my kids 1.00 per package towards thier allowance for liquidating thier inheratence towards their college fund. If you want to dis' my 8 and 2 year old that's not right.

I didn't have the heart to ask what his grandfather and father would think about how he respected their "lifetime of efforts" with regards to his upbringing.

It going for a whopping $0.99 ... glad to know, though, that the card is "unmolested"... Classic.
