I am now officially going to limit down my set chases in the new year, and only collect the sets that I am truley in awe of, period.

Now if you are standing up, please sit down for this.....

I just got quoted for Shipping from the US to OZ of............































$100US :shock:
 
did you question the seller why shipping was so high?

and the other option is to buy it thru paypal, then claim back the excess in postage, they will refund that im pretty sure?

If you don't mind me asking...what were you buying??
 
$100 US, dude you better have been buying a couple of heavy GU sets otherwise what's up with that??! Maybe he meant $10.00 but accidentally wrote it wrong.
 
mattyj - I never question sellers postage costs.
All I say is "gee whiz, that's way too high for me, and it's more than the card itself, the most I ever paid was like $38, and that was for a $2K item, I'll have to pass etc etc"
But how do you claim excess shipping cost through Paypal?

bas - I just don't understand it anymore, and as I already told a few mates in the US alreday. Next year, after my current sets are done, I'm going to limit right down on my set/theme chases. It's gotten really bad nowadays, and the shipping on a 42 card set, alraedy sets me back like nearly $1K more, just in express insured shipping.
Then you add in how many sets I have worked on, and it's not good at all.

Allstar cards inc - Nah, not at all. I was shopping for a "late" XMAS present (man, there are steals galore on e-bay right now, you guys should check it out if you can) and was going to bid on a Shaq card that I though a collector would want. It was a Just a Shaq base card.

jimboiitmac - Nah, it was 1 solitary card bud.
The most I have ever paid, was $38 odd, and that was for express, fully insured $2k item.
And it wasn't a mistake, because a few days earlier, I was quoted $30 odd for ground shipping, and $60 for air mail (insurance extra) on a 1 card item as well. It wasn't a mistake, it's like this all the time, and has never been so prevalent as it has been now. This is why, after this, I am seriously going to cut back on the chases, and just stick other things. It's just too hard and expensive.
 
u will be able to spend more time on chasing down shaq's then

That's the plan bud.

That way, I wil never be dissapointed in losing a card, because my Shaq PC is mearly what I can get to add, rather than a "must have" for a set/theme chase.

But it's all cool, I have done my fair share of sets and themes.
