I expect it. None of the major houses that I can think of are "reasonable" in their shipping/handling/insurance charges. That is the real world! It is not eBay, fellas, where big brother essentially tells the sellers they can lose their 20% discount if they charge more than $3 to ship a $500 card.

$100 8 card raw lot $20+ shipping. SOP for them. Email back and refuse to pay it and they will lower the cost significantly. I go through that ritual every time.

I think many who are trying to justify the auction house shipping prices, explain them, or compare them to ebay are still missing a very valid point. The shipping amount for 1 card was unknown.
So if this IS SOP, then why don't they say that up front? THAT'S where it's different from ebay. So what on ebay if someone has free shipping and someone else charges $10. At least you KNOW up front what the charge will be and you can factor it into a decision. A question, specific to Legendary. Has anyone ever won something from them and the shipping charge was LESS than $20? If not, then why NOT indicate up front that S/H will be a minimum of $20? Personally, I always allow for 20% above my high bid to account for the BP and other "surprises" (such as high S/H).

In 2007 I won a T206 Wagner from them for a client.
Hammer Total $160,000.00 Buyers Premium $32,000.00 SubTotal $192,000.00 Shipping & Handling $969.00 Tax $0.00 ________________________________________ Amount Due $192,969.00 I flew up to get the card since it was cheaper than sending it.

Be careful about complaining. I once complained about an auction house's shipping charge and they wrote back "That's a typo. It's supposed to be a comma."
Seriously, my maternal grandmother's maiden name was du Pont and I was raised never to talk publicly about using a coupon or disputing shipping charges. If someone from polite society is watching listening, I ask for the shipping charge to be raised. Last edited by drcy; 08-30-2013 at 02:43 PM.
