[quote name='helluvagood']how much will shipping cost for 1 strategy guide and 7 games to Canada??[/QUOTE]
$216.55 lol
no seriously, the shipping thing was posted and an agreement as part of bidding. but that is also i am sure a big reason a lot of things sold for so cheap is nobody knew who owned what so had no idea if they would be paying $6 or $60 in shipping. I had about 20 items i would have bid past what they went for but after factoring in the possible $60 extra was not worth it. As far as shipping supplies, the post office will provide free flat rate boxes, or bulk rate on padded envelopes is about .22-35 each in lots of 100+. a regular game, with a paypal label first class shipped with DC and the mailer is about $2.53 and thats overweighing by 2 oz to make sure there is no problem.
so for each single item, $3 is perfectly great, but if we know in the future which items would be bundled in shipping with which items.. you'll pull a lot more in sales and individual sellers would get additional bids on items that normally wont as an impulse buy people will say, " ah, theres only a few hours left, ill toss a buck or two on Game X and toss it in my bundle. " least i know i do.
and do cut em slack, they will verify all the bids are correct and up to date and get it all worked out, i know just from my 130 or so item lowball on my own, i invested 9 hours one day, 6 the next, and probably 15 hours getting it all organaized.. it is a lot of copy, paste, typing, answering , work.. it is tedious, and it is NOT exciting.
