Yes, I just noticed it when looking at some items on the site. It does seem to have been sneaked in without any notice. Does seem excessive and will certainly prevent me from bidding on lower value items. Tommy On Thu, 21 Oct 2021, 04:13 Moviemem Original Movie Posters, < johnr...@moviemem.com>

Kirby, so sorry to hear this. I met Channing frequently at the poster shows in the US. I'm not on Facebook myself, but my wife was friends with him online, so I was frequently updated on his whereabouts. She had noticed that he had stopped posting several weeks ago. While we were never close,

Helmut I'm sure that HA will try and justify the increase by saying they are covering costs on selling low priced items. However, anyone who bids on their auctions should take the BP into account and they should also factor in shipping and other costs. It doesn't take much to work out that a
