I have lost many sales over the years because shipping was high and people on here wanted me to eat the shipping cost which would mean losing money . A good example was a perfect 74 chevy Truck grill .It was priced at $100 and shipping was going to be $35 more and the buyer backed out . I unboxed it and hung it on my wall and display my Hotwheels on it now .The same guy later wants to buy and agrees to the shipping charge and I wont sell it to him as Im using it by then and I had already thrown away the box I had made for it .It takes time to make a box , drive to town for a shipping quote ,just to be told shipping is too much so I try not to ship .
