(...) Well, the internet's free ride is well over then isn't it? I am very unlikely to pay $30 total for an item at $20 with an additional s&h of $10. Sometimes I order rarer or "hard to find in quantity" elements from Europe via Bricklink and the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.services)

(...) How can you expect someone to tell you the shipping costs up front, unless they give a flat fee that will most likely overcharge you? Especially with the new USPS rates hitting July 1. I mean, I could list "$10 shipping in the continental US" (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.services)

(...) Hyperbole on Ebay is often ridiculous. I remember seeing a lot of one or two hundred Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazines a few weeks ago.

(...) True, but on the flipside Ebay does use many copyrighted names as category names. And Lego knows that Lego sales on Ebay promotes their product, and that equals free advertising - no company would let that go. Also people who choose the Lego (...)
