Reminds me of my all-time best shipping coup: Mastro. Won a lot of over 500 signed baseballs. Came in 3 boxes, my wife had to help me get each one in the door. My UPS driver wouldn't speak to me for months. Total damage? Under $30 shipping!!!! Someone must've gotten fired for that one.

Why is everyone saying I know who they are or I know who number 1 is or number 2 is. Call these guys out say who they are with high shipping cost so everybody knows who to avoid when wanting to bid in an auction. Why is it such a big secret. Maybe if they read people's complaints they will take notice.

The reason I didn't say who it is, is because one is an advertiser and one isn't.
I didn't want it to seem I was targeting a company for that reason...

Looks like AH 1 is charging a 20% buyer's premium while AH 2 is charging 17.5%. The second AH is trying to make some of the difference up by charging more for shipping. I would assume this is done so they can advertise that they charge a lower premium. This would probably work out better for the buyer on more expensive cards.

In post #6 Scott hints at who sent invoice #2. Just check out all the AH's for the rhyming word in their business name. Good luck in your hunt.
