Legendary winnings

Is it just me, or does it seem kinda weird that winning bidders have to negotiate their shipping charges? Are the people who dutifully pay their bills without questioning things subsidizing those who complain? This also has to be a pain for Doug to go through. There must be a better system for handling these charges.

I think the system should have been to be "reasonable" to begin with and there would not have been issues. We all expect higher shipping charges from the Major houses compared to Ebay and others but not charges up in the stratosphere.

I'm in all honesty quite pissed that a postal money order was in the mail the day my invoice arrived....included was my $40 shipping charge. They did a great job turning the lot around and getting it to my door, but I resent the fact that I was penalized since it turns out you could have negotiated shipping.

Sometimes it pays to be the squeaky wheel. Is there a better way, probably. Is the shipping department a profit center, I don't know.
