His shipping doesn't make much since. He quoited me $18 to $19 for this item.
Question about shipping for item #6508374161 - NOS MUFFLER MILITARY TRUCK/M35/M275/M109/M185
This doesn't seem too out of line but $12 for 4 little clips is out of sight.

His ad is omissive, but he is honest if you take the time to email him.
On his ad for 4 pin retaining clips, ( 6508373985 ) currently at $4.99, he states, "BUYER PAYS ALL
SHIPPING AND PACKING CHARGES. NO REFUND ON SHIPPING AND PACKING CHARGES".
So I emailed and asked for shipping charges. He replied, " Question about shipping for item
#6508373985 - 4-NEW PINS M38/M37/M42/M151/M715/M1008/CUCV/M43/M422Approximatley $12.00 - 14.00".
Many of the sellers on ePay now list their articles at low prices then charge packing and handling
charges to make up the difference. Many mail order stores like J.C. Whitney, Penney's, etc. have
been doing it for years.
Here's another prime example.... "The Video Professor". The CD's are free just pay $6.95 shipping
and handling.
I can appreciate handling and packing charges if the person has to spend money for packing materials
then wrestle a heavy object into a container, but not to drop 4 clips into an envelope.
BTW, these clips can be purchased at Lowe's for about .25 cents each.
