Some play that game to avoid the percentage fee, if something is priced exceptionally low and does'nt get bids the shipping is always something to check to see why.

I was watching that same auction and almost bid. Fedex can be VERY expensive for shipping freight items. Try this place. I shipped my entire cnc router for $250 with them. www.dnafreight.com

hmm, does this leadscrew and nut really weigh 263lbs?
Yeah that looks like a typo on the sellers part, better check with them.Originally Posted by fyffe555
well i e_mailed the guy and told him i just want the screw and nut... as it was separated anyways.
i told him to just wrap the thing in duck tape to a 2 x 4 and throw a stamp on it.

I looked at the original auction and if there is no pits etc, it looks like you got a nice deal.
For freight I would guess UPS ground would not be that high.

I hate that shipping set up at ebay. Sometimes if theres time I'll try to nail down the sellar that I'll choose the shipping method, or that they will ship UPS Ground. They're the best for price and service I've found. I wont bid on an item that's going to ship from the US Postal Service, they just cant seem to handle packages, they take weeks for a large item, they cost more, lose stuff, and offer no recourse whatsoever if something gets lost or stolen, unless you pay extra for insurance.
Good luck and let us know how you fare. Maybe you could offer him a 10.00 handling fee if you have to, just to keep the thing from going south.

NEVER buy anything on ebay without confirming shipping and handling costs before bidding.
Those end bearings might be worth $250 just by themselves.
hehe i have sold a lot of stuff on ebay for everyone person that likes usps, ups or fedex there a person that hates it You can never pick the right shipper
ups max shipping weight is 150 pounds but if you ship them in two boxes it will save 100 bucks or more.
well if anyone out there is interested in this screw beauty, i can probably talk him down 100 bucks or so, ( i can try anyways), i havn't pressed pay yet, and i won't at that price,
my wife would have my !@#$%^&*( (flame2)
Again, have you checked the actual ship weight. Your invoice is listing $363 shipping on an item weighing 263lbs...... mail the seller and see what the real shipping cost is.
