Heh, I have trouble bidding on something where the shipping costs twice as much as the bid. ;)

Assuming a package about the size of a banker box, a weight of 30 pounds and $100 worth of insurance, it could be sent from California to New York for only $13.04 if sent USPS Media Mail, or still only $30.04 via UPS Ground if a tracking number is essential.

I didn't even notice the shipping cost to be honest...that seems very high to me to... ;) I would send the guy an email if you are really interested to ask him about it...

It really doesn't matter what the shipping price is, as long as the seller mentions it in advance. Just lower your top bid by a corresponding amount.

OTOH, if he had sprung that shipping price after the auction was over, the buyer would have good reason to be pissed.
