Mailing Ashtray Question

I have lots of ashtrays I would like to sell or trade. IM playing around with the price calculators on the USPS and UPS site. The cheapest way is to keep the package to a pound. I see on E bay people charge all different costs for shipping. If it goes over a pound the price jumps from 7.50 and up. How can you send these on the cheap.
