The shipping is what kills me in the past few years compared to years past (not REA for me, btw).

Some auction houses are good about steady or expected shipping rates and some I have no idea what shipping/insurance/packing/etc metrics they're using to come up with surprisingly huge numbers.

Then there's the sometimes surprising multiple-items = multiple-packages = multiple-shipping-fees...sometimes understandable, sometimes questionable.
