SCP Auctions and shipping cost

[bobbyw8469]

Whew! Tell us how you REALLY feel Dan!

I was recently charged $13 shipping plus $3 insurance on a card I won for $30 from an auction house. It was obscene.

Not to mention SCP's 20% buyers premium. 20%? Really? No inventory costs. The shipping, handling, and insurance is paid separately. 20% ?

I won 6 cards and 5 baseball magazines from Sterling a few months a few months ago. I thought the shipping was quite reasonable. Only about 10-12 bucks for a large package. I was content and was surprised when Lee refunded several bucks of it a day later. Said it didn't cost as much as he thought it would. Thumbs up!

I'm pretty tight with Kohler, Dan. You want me to put in a good word for you and get it all straightened out?

I won a bat, was also $17 for shipping, $5 for insurance...maybe it's a blanket rate no matter what you win? should obviously be much less for one card.

Yeah Ryan, why don't you go ahead and touch base with him and let us know how it goes?

Dan--so what's the damage? You feel they overcharged you $7? Not worth having a cow over that. That seems like a Buck Showalter reaction, not a reaction from my usually mild mannered friend Dan.
