I'm plugging one of my eBay auctions. I normally purchase two of these items each, however due to a miscommunication with relatives I have recently wound up with a surplus of "extras" and I'm in need of some cash.

NOTE: This item has been relisted; nobody bid the first time, so I'm offering it again.

FAQ:

1:
Q. Is it a rare item?
A. Yes; there are 50,000 worldwide, and most e-tailers selling these are out of stock.

2:
Q. Why don't you ship internationally?
A. I'm not set up to ship internationally via eBay at this time, sorry. (I do intend to change this in future auctions.)

3:
Q. Will you be listing any Power Rangers items?
A. That depends on how well items such as this sell; I have a few Power Rangers figures in the list of things to sell, but I want to sell the stuff that takes up more space first.

4:
Q. I know it's none of my business, but what do you intend to use the money you make from this auction for?
A. I might use it for other toys that I don't have/don't have the money to purchase, or I might use it for video production equipment for my major in College. depending on how much an item sells for, I could wind up using the money made for both.

5.
Q. Why is shipping $15.00 US Dollars; are you out of your mind Cyrax9?!
A. Shipping has a $15.00 flat-rate since I just mailed a package to TimeRed2k1 and it cost me $18.00 for a similar item. I also have to pay for shipping materials and the fuel for my vehicle to get this to the Post Office or UPS -- that all adds up. I'm NOT profiteering off of shipping; I'm covering what it costs me to get the item to you. If it makes you feel better, the video equipment I'm buying has a $15 S&H tag as well. I can't control what they charge me at the pump, sorry.

Thanks for looking at my auction; there are more to come in the future...

I'm not sure (Mods feel free to enlighten me,) but I believe that I can bump this rather than create a new thread since it has been here for awhile.

NOTE: This is a 3-day auction; I'd like to try and sell this item before my final two classes of the summer semester when things are going to get hectic for a week or so. Once this sells I'll probably put more listings up at the same time.

In my experience, shipping with UPS has been a rip off if its for smaller items. It cost me over $10 to ship a small Johhny lightning car. Oy!

exactly why arent you "set up to ship internationaly? i ship my stuff with the usps, and list that on the actions i've sold. hell i live in a town of 200 people and i can ship internationally. just say u ship "worldwide" and make a note in the auction saying that the flat rate is for american shipping only, international will cost more, depending on where it is shipped to.
