Evan's reply is illogical when he states that he does not factor the cost of shipping into what he will pay for a poster. If what he says is true then he must only bid on very expensive posters but I doubt that because as an example he cites $50 for a poster. At that price postage is a definite factor to be considered. In any case, shipping is a cost to be considered. He states that regardless of the shipping he will not pay $51 if he made up his mind to bid $50. I ask him--------If two posters are up for auction that you want and are willing to pay $50 for each----------Will you bid exactly $50 for each if one states shipping is $10 and the other states shipping is Free? I just purchased two posters at auctions. I paid $727 for a poster from Bruce H and I never factored shipping in while I was bidding. Postage for this poster was irrelevant to me when bidding. (As an aside, Bruce Hershenson spent $20.50 in postage plus the cost of the tube and the labor in packing and only charged me $9 for shipping.) I bought a poster from Heritage for less than $45 and paid around $18 in shipping (very well packed and a large flat). The price was fair for both (even if Bruce had charged the full amount). My point here is simple. I paid no attention to the shipping cost with the poster from Bruce because I was willing to pay more than the final price (I bid higher but the other person stopped at $702). I definitely factored in the shipping price with Heritage because I did not want to exceed $85 for the poster so I placed a bid around $65. Shipping becomes minor as the price of the poster increases. In any case, this is another situation where ebay is making changes to strengthen their bottom line without giving the consequences the necessary serious thought. As Bruce H said recently--------This is the best example of a mismanaged company. Claude Litton
