Re: I apologize to you Mike

Mike, you posted on the board something to the effect that you had some chips on ebay and that you were not receiving any bids of some of them.

I thought in good faith that I could help you in acquiring bids if you considered some revisions to your listing. I believe I also stated that it was only a suggestion (not certain on that fact.)

Reconsidering all the expenses you were incurring, I agree, you were charging too little for your shipping charges. In fact, I think you forgot a few items: Electricity, depreciation on your computer, space used on your hard drive,
tape and/or staples to seal your padded envelopes, and while your including the time standing in line at the post office, don't forget the time to list your items on ebay.

I remember reading many years ago an article written by the AAA stating that it cost $0.44¢ per mile to drive your car (gas, insurance, maintance, depreciation etc.) which I am sure has increased many fold now. But just using those outdated prices, 10 miles times $0.44¢ per mile would certainly support shipping charges of at least $6.00 or $7.00.

So once again, I apologize to you and all the others that feel justified to charge whatever you wish for shipping. I just hope you don't send me a bill for the time it takes you to read this message as I know your time is very valuable.
