I asked this person why the shipping was so high and they responded that the item was bulky and heavy. They also said the shipping quote came from the PO.

What do you guys think? Is that a gold bar it is mounted on?

For Priority Mail I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than the amount he is asking. I just mailed 6 Priority packages today and lost money on every on of them!

If you are truly interested, ask about Parcel Post shipping or maybe UPS or FedEx

Any way to take that thing apart and stuff it in a Flat Rate box?

Thanks! Seems nuts to me.
I have sold a few things on e-bay and always looked for a way to ship it for less! I cannot imaging paying 50.00 to ship that item. I just saw a Lot-o-Thumbler (very similar in size and design) on e-bay ship for 19.00.

She is over charging on shipping to make up for low bids, you can report her for this, and if ebay thinks it is excessive they will pull the listing.

Some of the positive feedback is pretty shaky. Would probably be worth a $1 bid, but I wouldn't bid any more than that. My 2 cents. Curt

That's funny. The listing no longer exists. That means that eBay pulled the listing. If the seller had ended it himself, it would read: "Item is no longer available" and possibly give a reason.

The shipping charge that I had was only $21.40. I guess the rate changes depending on what postal zone you are in.

You also need shipper's and receiver's zipcode. Some folks add $5 for "handling".
