Well, they are charging me $37.66 to ship 2 pins about the size of a silver dollar each. The final bid was only $350, so it seems a little silly. Imagine trying to charge that on ebay (or anywhere else). I wonder if they still have some leftover tape?

I got charged $42.00 for two small lots with a value of $2000. I could ship it insured for half that amount. Maybe they will consider reducing some of those fees.

My shipping charge was $30 over what I expected.

Hi Barry,
I guess I got a deal.... Two slabbed cards worth $3200 for 41.25...

How nice.... Be well Brian

My shipping is $198.

Honestly, Jeff, I'm surprised you're not required to drive to Illinois to pick up the cards yourself.

$56.51 for one slabbed card valued at 3900. It had better be at my door first thing Monday.

In another, recent auction, (not Mastro or their spawn) I won a lot for just under $30,000. The juice added 10%. I was charged $30 for shipping and the package arrived by Fedex, one day after my check hit his hands.

And some people don't like that auctioneer. Go figure.

There's no pleasing everyone.

Rob, the shipping charge is so high I could have bought a plane ticket for the two cards and gotten them a free meal and drinks on the flight to NYC.

Well, I know that Mastro/Legendary says on its invoice that it doesn't ship using the USPS, so the registered-mail option is a moot point. Whether the decision to not use the USPS is a wise one is another discussion. I don't know enough about the costs of shipping via UPS and FedEx to comment on how the value of a parcel affects the shipping charge.

And to be clear, I'm not defending Mastro's/Lengendary's shipping charges. I'll leave that for others to do. I'm just saying that it seems logical that the value of a package should be figured into the equation.
