...in my eyes, it's all figured into the bottom line of what I'm willing to pay for a chip. To me, there's nothing different in buying a chip for $25 and paying $5 shipping versus buying a chip for $28 & paying $2 shipping. As a matter of fact, I rather like the auctions with higher shipping costs as it has a tendency to keep other bidders away. The one thing that I do check though, is to make sure there is combined or reduced rate shipping for multiple auctions won from the same seller.
