Why???
« on: July 03, 2004, 09:08:25 PM »
Ok I never post just because I find something irritating but I couldn't stand this.  
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36105&item=3685678622&rd=1
I know we have had discussion on this before about shipping and yes if i ship from my location which is east coast to califonia or somewhere way over there it might be $20 dollars but definitely not $25 and this insurance optional(for another whopping $5) I bet there are actually people who get suckered and take this and as we all know insurance is free up to $100 with UPS which is what they are using according to there post. Not to mention this ebay ad is terrible in that it has no picture when they could at least use a stock photo of a golden nugget, because they had to do that much to get the logo up there and it also says nothing of pin to cg dist or numbers of games etc.  Sorry just venting I guess I have nothing better to do.

I should just quit bowling, oh wait I already tried that.
Now that I am back and my Saws are sharp again, I am ready to cut some wood.

It's just a way to guarantee a little extra profit.  Might help them to pay for packaging or for gas if they don't live near a drop location.  Just like buying at an online proshop, read everything available.  You might get "free" shipping, but pay a convenience/handling charge, etc..
