I'm holding my breath waiting for a nanny to step in and squash this thread.... Meanwhile, I wouldn't let a four year old pack anything for me. I use a combo of materials that has resulted in a no-break shipping record for about a year. And the thing about the $100 item versus the 100 $1 things? It takes longer to sell a $100 thing, and there's a larger chance that one nitpicking buyer will crash the deal when he/she discovers a smudge on the faceplate or something or other. With the $1 things there's a far lighter chance of buyer remorse. Those buyers are grateful to get their item. Jeff -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
