Good grief what a silly chucklehead! $11 flat rate shipping would be a steal! When I bought my machine on ebay they had pictures of how they wrapped it- it was practially mummified, and cost nearly $50, but I was perfectly fine with that...better than it being damaged en route!
It wasn't a machine I was shipping:> But a largish attachment. People get cranky when they pay $7 for an item and it costs $11 to ship it. But shoot, it's not like it's a surprise or I have any control over that. And if it's too much, they shouldn't bid! :>
