Those retail for around $240 bucks so I would say thats a pretty good score even with the high shipping.

true 20.00 is on the higher side but these have gone for over 125.00 plus shipping in the past so in that case it still worked out cheaper than the others that sold

never understood why people care about shipping. Just figure it into your bid for heavens sake!

That's a good deal. I can't figure out what they are for though. I think i'll bid on his Star Trek movies..

The problem with the high shipping is, if you return for whatever reason, you will not get your shipping cost back.

I have seen some sellers jack the shipping up, then fail to describe the item properly, when your not happy they refund your money, you ship the item back, your out the high shipping cost, and they have they have the item in their possession to do the same thing all over again.

Plus, jacking up the shipping is a common way that people avoid eBay fees, and it's against eBay policy. Why should honest sellers get screwed with higher fees to cover the scam artists?

Shipping should be the cost to ship, plus a nominal handling/packing fee, if any (packing materials do cost money...). For purchases the size of this, it shouldn't exceed $13-$14...
