I am sorry, but I must chime in here.....I am so very tired of Listia members trying to negotiate shipping. I do free shipping whenever I can, but it is not always in my budget. We all certainly get more points when we can offer that. But there are many seniors and others (on fixed incomes), as well as those who are a bit more strapped financially these days. I love that Listia allows us all to trade our un-wanted or un-needed things for other things that we might really want and/or need. But the whole "free shipping" thing has become so petty. This cooler is worth far more than it's shipping cost. You couldn't buy it at a thrift store or Goodwill type shop for what shipping may cost. I just wish everyone would stop whining about the shipping. Figure out what it might be worth to you....and bid accordingly. Why torture the person who is offering it with pleas for free or reduced shipping?????
