You have to consider the total cost, including shipping, on any item you buy off of e-Bay.  You can't point to $2200 for shipping and declare that it's too much.  Especially when the asking price is only $5.99.  It is a kinda cheesy way to get around paying sellers' fees, but it's done all the time.  Just ask yourself if it's worth $2205.99.  If so, bid; if not, don't.  Doesn't matter if it's $2200 plus $5.99 shipping or $5.99 for the ball and $2200 for shipping, it's the same out of your pocket either way.

Maybe he only meant to put 22.00 for shipping?  I mean, is this some special ball or something?

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...
