My guess is this piece if anti-Heritage propaganda has some basis in truth,
like lots of effective propaganda does--it's just been stripped of facts and
details that would expose it for what it is.
Here's my hypothesis: the $400+ figure comes from an ebay invoice for
multiple items that included multiple individual shipping charges--once for
each item. I had a similar huge # just this week on multiple items. But you
don't have to pay that amount! The $400+ total, I'll just bet, was before
adjustments were made for combined shipping, since (almost) no seller would
charge you eight times for shipping eight items in one package. How could
they be such low price items? It must bot have been one of their
signature/catalogue auctions. Didn't Heritage used to ren weekly auctions
on ebay before they set up their own weekly auctions on their site? $9
minimum is what they charge for lots on their site--not on current ebay
auctions.
Just one educated, or semi-educated, guess...
But Rich--you get to read Bruce's email club messages before the rest of us?
Wow! That must be exciting!
