I don't consider $1-2 a massive charge.  I may be driving 3 hours out of my way to get
there.  Gas in CA is $2/gal, and the time involved, not to mention the hassle/time of
packing them up and shipping them out.

I won't feel guilty about such a small charge, considering I could just eBay them and
get much more.

I always offer to compensate people for their time (and if I haven't in the past, I
goofed).  If someone specifically says they want nothing extra ahead of time, that's
fine, but I also don't consider it wrong for someone to ask for compensation for the
trouble.

I'll be at LIC-Anaheim, and maybe LLC, in about 2-3 weeks, so I can keep an eye

a pen, though (at cost plus shipping plus, say, $1-2?), so I don't end up buying

I'm not interested in a pen, but I think it would be nice if you offered to
pick up the pens for people at cost and shipping without any other fees.
You plan on being there anyways and there have been times when you've asked
people to pick up much larger items for you at cost.
