Excessive shipping charges reported to ebay, this thread is archived and also given as evidence to ebay for the scam perpetrated. Have a nice day !

$25 is not excerssive shipping charges. Its what I would charge, and I would still lose money. For those of you who think it costs $5.00-$10.00 to ship a marker, take your head out of your rear and grow up. Boxes and packing materials are not free and shipping rates have gone up. I recently shipped a typhoon, and it was over $30. Seriously, grow up or shut up.

It is a cool gun. Did the Sleeper cockers have matching shrouds?

I don't think so, I'm prety certain I've never seen one with a shroud.

I know that PTP did matching shrouds for the MicroCockers. I think I've seen one on a sleeper. In any case, you can always e-mail Forest at PTP and get it straight from the horses mouth.

i am sorry my comment turned this into an argument, i realize not everyone lives down the street from a post office. But there are ways around that. And yes you can get free boxes delivered to you. USPS

Holy crap, MCB'ers can act like a pack of wild dogs sometimes.

Shipping and handling is what it is. If the guy wanted $100 for shipping and handling the ending value of the auction would be $100 less than if the shipping was free. People will only pay so much to get an item to their door. If the shipping is too high, the ending price will be lower and reflect that. If it's low or free, the ending price will generally be higher to reflect that. As long as the shipping and handling charges are advertised properly and aren't concealed until after the auction ends it is not bad business. Only inexperienced bidders bid first and worry about shipping later.

As far as changing what's in the auction after it starts, that's not really good for business and probably lost more money on the gun auction in the end than the seller made from selling the barrel seperately.
