My initial reaction is, "Why tell me that? Either bid or don't bid. No one dies either way."

I get those questions too. Especially why is shipping so high.
I can waive the shipping but you won't get the item.
It's a lot of 13 pistol magazines, so shipping is only $1.54 per magazine. I figure it will take a Medium Flat Rate Box. Postage alone is $15.50. Then I have buy bubble wrap, tape, a marker to write the address and then I have to drive it to the post office. $20 seems pretty reasonable to me.
If I look and believe the shipping is too high, I just keep looking. Real simple.
Gun, kayak, knife, what was it?
The humor is wasted on the unknown.

David, $20 seems very fair to me.
I've been doing the same thing for a couple of months David. Flat rate and selling magazines cheap. Then I get asked about my (flat rate) shipping charge.
I'm sure he'll do better buying onesie twosie. LOL.
I put in a bid and I would not mind paying 20 bucks shipping if I win !!!
He probably missed the part about having to pay sales tax too........🙄

AAARRRGGGGG.....That's gonna make the the dude jump off a bridge!
Just raise your starting bid $20 and list it as free shipping.
If he did the BIN there wouldn't be any postage...............just sayin'.
He was fishing. Hoping you would tell him to bid away and shipping is on your dime if he wins.
Seems he needs a new strategy.
Just reply “Thanks!” and let him wonder.
You should hear the nonsense they have to say about the ammo shipments we deal with. I specifically say in the auction.....you are very welcome to send over a UPS or Fed Ex shipping label yourself, but if we make a label there will be an upcharge. They STILL fuss and moan about what "I'm charging" to ship.

Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche

Wolfe City needs a PO. 🤣
Amazon and the other humongous retailers have caused all internet buyers to think free shipping is the norm. Perhaps if you offer to sign him up for the new and improved Nunn Prime service for $150, then he can get free shipping for the life of his membership. I wonder how much stuff he can buy in a week?

You can pay me when your girlfriend gets her income tax. You really don't need a big screen TV in moms basement.
