Man, it CAN get worse, believe it or not.
It cost me $20 to ship 20 copies of Sith Infiltrator. Etoys is wanting to
charge me *** $53 *** to ship 20 copies of 7101 and 7121. You could
probably fit 40 copies of each of those sets (or more) in the box they
shipped the 20 Sith's in and it would still weigh less.
I can't justify trying to buy anything else from them. They're trying to
charge me $1.25 to ship each item - even if I reduce the order to 20 copies
of 7101. $28 to ship something that probably weighs all of 2 pounds max and
would fit in a shoebox? I don't think so. I don't care if that would still
work out to a good deal - I'm not buying.
They charged me $1 each to ship the Sith's. At 67% off that was an
acceptable tradeoff for them. It isn't acceptable on these, imo.

| (...) Siths at 63% off (including shipping) == "good deal"; 7101s + 7121s at 64% off (including shipping) == "bad deal"; Are you familiar with the expression "Cutting off your nose to spite your face"? Ran (24 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
