It's best to quote by _actual_ size, weight, and service, and tell buyers which service you've quoted. It's also perhaps best, as Chris said, not to expect people to buy things in 52-pound lots. --Toby (frequent international buyer)
RE: IT books available
When I searched I saw something that said $2.63. I took that to be per pound. Now I see elsewhere a 26 pound box is $15.41. So let's says shipping will be $32. If it turns out to be more I will request more. :-) -Original Message- From: TeoZ [mailto:t...@neo.rr.com] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2018 1:03 PM To: cct...@emailtoilet.com; General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: IT books available I think you need to recheck the shipping estimate. -Original Message- From: Donald via cctalk Sent: Friday, December 07, 2018 3:30 PM To: cctalk@classiccmp.org Subject: IT books available Listed these on eBay a few times.

RE: IT books available
I don't have time or patience to list individually. I have found it takes at least 20 minutes per item to list something. Lots of time. Plus the listing fees, selling fees and postage vs what I could sell them for puts me at less than half old minimum wage. :-) -Original Message- From: Chris Hanson [mailto:cmhan...@eschatologist.net] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2018 12:53 PM To: cct...@emailtoilet.com; General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: IT books available On Dec 7, 2018, at 12:30 PM, Donald via cctalk wrote: > > Listed these on eBay a few times.
