I mean no disrespect, but I did want you to know that I had been willing to bid an EXTREMELY high number of credits to try to win this item if there had been free shipping. It's really cool. I respect your decision, though, especially if money is tight. I guess it comes down to trying to strike a balance between the number of credits you want to get, and what you can afford to be shelling out for shipping on a regular basis. I have never charged shipping for a single one of my auctions, sometimes sending out packages that cost me more than $10 to mail! But, then again, I don't think I'm going to last long on this site at the rate I'm going. I won't be able to afford to keep up. Already struggling. So, on one hand I understand your choice. I guess there are pros and cons to everything. Sorry for my mini "blog" here! Just wanted to say it's a cool item, and one I'll be looking for (or something like it) again in the future when I can save a little money. Gotta keep all my pennies for outgoing postage now. Oh well. It's kind of fun for me. Wishing you and all your bidders the best!!!
