I think Lee's issue is the fact that he is being raped on the shipping. I think a few more $ to ship than actual,is acceptable and most can/will swallow that, but on higher cost to ship items,thats tough to swallow when the price is doubled.The issue is not what the going rate is on an item and that at $200 shipped he still got a very good deal.The issue is his getting reamed through no fault of his own, he didn't even see it coming i'm sure.He scored big time at $127 for a pair of them,hands down, no question. Probably was very happy he did and makes the no reserve auction a very pleasureable experience for the buyer.To get reamed through no fault of his own probably left a very bad taste with him.Maybe other buyers have caught on to this and have started to avoid his auctions because they too were reamed,leaving some parts like the cocktail shakers to go for way less $. Who knows.... For whatever reason the seller decided to inflate the shipping cost, he probably just lost plenty of potential customers through Lee's posting of his experience.Lee,if it makes you feel any better, if they are in good shape, $200 shipped is still an awesome deal on them, just would have been nicer to get them for $150-160 shipped.
