I thought it’d be more like 90 lbs and under-charged the buyer for shipping but the profit on the sale makes up for that. With high-dollar sales like this, going back to the customer with “Oh gee, I’m sorry but I didn’t charge enough for shipping, please send me another $17.14.” Unprofessional! Plus many high-roller customers wire their funds and each transfer costs them more than a typical shipping overrun, plus my bank charges me to receive each wire.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. All kinds of stuff, mostly NOS items, incl tools and nautical. Long wood crates with rope handles just left of shackle are Army Artillery ammo crates, empty, we use for shipping or storing volumes of small heavy items.
