Also, ALWAYS include the shipping and handling as part of the amount you are
willing to pay for the item. I mostly sell casino chips and always state
the shipping as a bit more than the postage.... However, I always package
them very carefully and spend money on materials that some don't. In the
future, just include the shipping as part of the price when you are deciding
on bidding for an item.
