Is this really worth this much?

You get lucky from time to time!

(I have found it best to tell my wife what I won the part for and NOT include the shipping cost - which can be more than the cost of the part!)

How true. Of the deals I did get, I paid a LOT for shipping on some items. It seems the people with the ebay stores are very reasonable on shipping, whereas an individual feels his time is so valuable as to charge $50.00 to box and ship at 5# item worth $10.00.

Oh how true...

I think it is more like... "My piece of junk that has been gathering rust in my yard for the past 10 years didn't sell for the fortune I thought it would so I will make back some of that loss through shipping costs."

I always love getting something I was charged $10 for shipping for, in a regular envelope with a 50 cent stamp!
