All I can say Harry is that you probably don't bid on very many
spendy items.I will say that I am one of those people who uses
the $3.20 shipping fixed cost, but if I sell an item under $12.00
I will adjust the shipping accordingly. But most of the items I
sell need insurance and I usually over insure to be safe. For
what its worth I have never lost a priority insured package but
have had 5 uninsured standard packages lost. When I buy an item
the shipping cost does not really bother me. I only care about
two things, I want it here quick and I want it here safe. Ok get
the fork !
