Like Rob comments at the end of Tom's quote, I ship for the postage...$3.80 (or so) priority mail cost in the US. This is a hobby. I have peanuts and other packing material coming out my ears. And the post office is 2 blocks out of the way on my way to work. I don't want to take another $10 on shipping.
