Charles,
We can't feel too sorry for you after you just made close to $300 profit on the two Sands chips! I don't think you are cheap though. At least not in this case. <G> Since you did not ask the seller what the actual shipping would be you are more or less stuck with what he is charging. I do think it is too high, but FAR from some others I have seen. I will sometimes bid on a chip or chips knowing that the shipping is too high. I just figure that into what my high bid is. If I win the auction I'll ask the seller for a break on the shipping that I feel is within reason. If I get it fine, if not I don't have to deal with that person again................Andy - Las Vegas
