<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4526499, member: 84"]The Britto was $24.95 & The Walking Dead was $14.95 - but another thing I got yesterday (well, I got half & a friend got 4 of the big ones + a space shuttle kit) - was a lot of (mostly) BIG model ship kits; BIG ones were $12.95 and others were $7.95, but since my friend sells on amazon where things (like model kits) have to be sealed, he ended up selling me the 5 kits for $200 - but today I called a guy who bought model kits from me before & again asked me to call him as soon as I got anymore - and sold him the lot for $500 cash; no eBay fees, no packing & no shipping!</p><p>I am going to have to recalculate my shipping - I sold a Yuengling(?) beer salute the troops sign/mirror for $225 on eBay + $40 shipping - UPS charged me $76 to fragile pack (w/box & fragile packing supplies) and pirate ship (which uses UPS but gets a big volume discount) charged me $49 to ship it - for a total of $125 shipping I had to pay!</p><p>AND(!) while I can't complain too much because of what I paid - I sold a Roy Fairchild Woodard limited edition litho for $550 + $80 shipping - when I saw the price for the beer sign which is half the litho size I had them check on fragile packing it - $120 and that doesn't include shipping (to California from Miami Fl)!
