Apparently I have been away from the forums for too long and have failed at them... Pardon my useless post here. >__>

Thank you for bringing these custom sabers to my attention. I had no idea so many were available on eBay. A search on eBay UK didn't come up with these results. I have a collection of mostly master replica and hasbro, but these look far more interesting!.

Shipping price isnt unreasonable, considering the large box, packing materials, taking into account possible residential address adder, ebay taking their 10% cut on "total" price of sale (including shipping fees), and insurance on the package.  It adds up quick for the casual seller that doesnt have a warehouse full of supplies for shipping stuff.  He should have just rolled that $29 into the auction starting price, and offered free domestic shipping thou, since ebay is taking their cut either way, and everyone likes to think they are getting something for free on the purchase.

Shipping price is also a sneaky way to tack on extra money to your sale. you don't have to ship through ebay, so if someone really wants something and pays you $30 to ship its even if it really only costs $10, you've just made an extra $20.

The one thing yall missed is TIME... shipping something properly takes alot of time, usually a custom box, and a special trip during work hours to the post office or UPS.  Shipping price is what it is, add it to the price of the item, if its still a good deal then its time to buy =)

Please excuse my spelling, my level of excitement to post outweighs my ability to spell check =)

Are you sure Vix? Doesn't he usually post it here before going to "evilbay"?

This is a beautiful saber built by Scottjua that has been taken care of like a true "shelf queen"

Also why does he write in 3rd person? I'm kinda interested but he's only got 1 sale on his user,,
I pretty sure it's not Scottjua,, since he is located in Plano Texas and the seller on ebay is in Simi Valley, California, United States,

So who is this?

That's Scottjua's saber, but the seller isn't. Wrong location.
Though this is the end of the age of heroes, it has saved its best for last.

I don't really think time should be a part of it at all. Shipping something properly should be a condition of selling a good online. If you aren't willing to put the time in to pack something properly and go somewhere to ship it, then don't sell goods online. I'm not willing to pay someone extra for "time" to uphold their responsibility as a seller. 

I can see how people would feel that the time they spend doing that deserves compensation, but I think thats kind of stupid and a bit self-righteous lol.

A good point, nonetheless.
