Well, they're the biggest auction house in the universe, so shipping charge has to be right.

Most of the items in Christies will sell for over $5000. Many over $20,000. They are not PWCC. They are shipping museum pieces, not Gregg Jeffries refractor cards.

Not to hurt anyone's feelings, but if $164 is a big issue you are not probably bidding in their auction.

This isn't shipping for $12.99. Hate to break the news.

Seriously??? No, $164 isn't a big issue, however, to ship a 4x5 inch photo that "may" sell for $2,000 (I know, if 2 people get into a pissing match it will garner more) FedEx does NOT cost this. I can get a plane ticket there and back to pick it up in person cheaper, so please.........

Maybe use all that extra money to purchase some common sense.

The BP is 25%, and since I'm a New Yorker with sales tax that adds about 34% to each of my lots. Have to bid accordingly. At least I can pick up in person, because their shipping is through the roof.
