Larry,
You are very correct!
Morrie sent me a bill for $70.00 for a mini window
card (framed)! I questioned the shipping and Morrie did lower the shipping to
$50.00 saying they will eat the difference...Still way to high, but what can you
do!
The other reason for this high cost was because of
storage.
It was two weeks before I even knew that I even
won!

SHIPPING
Buyer should be made aware of those charges...
Morrie
knew this up front and should have listed this in his Terms and Condition
section and not what he did say " Your bill will include normal shipping
plus insurance".
$40 is not normal for 1 poster.. Everbody knows
that....

The major live auction houses have typically had BRUTAL shipping
charges. They are not in the shipping business themselves, and
they
contract it out. By the old standards of Christies New York
or UK or
Sothebys or the old Butterfield and Butterfield, Morris
Everett's
auction shipping charges are not too bad. Heritage,
which ships their
own material from their own location in Dallas, is
reasonable.
I've paid over $200 for pieces to be shipped from
Christie's. That was
for multiple lots, but still......
When bidding in one of these auctions one should check out the
shipping
charges IN ADVANCE. I've bought a lot of posters at live
auctions that
were bargains and even though the shipping was high, I
came out on it.
I have sympathy for the buyers in this because I've
been one, but I
also have empathy for Morris because he's trying to get
the items
shipped safely and securely from a contractor in a place which
is away
from his home and his place of business. That's expensive
if you want
it done right.
As with all auctions, figure out what
you want your total expenses to
be, including the shipping, and bid
accordingly.
