[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3155241, member: 7157"] I went through a similar situation recently with an eBay seller of a desktop fan I really liked. He had a really high starting bid, and a ridiculous shipping fee, with no takers. I waited till the auction had expired and the fan had been relisted. I researched the particular model of fan and sent him a message asking if he would be including a Make Offer option and calculate exact shipping charges the next time he relisted the fan. His response was rather snippy, along the lines of how it was a rare fan and I wouldn’t find any like it for a long time, and that his shipping charge was in line with the shipment of other heavy items. I sent him the links to two other current eBay auctions, plus a FS ad from my gf’s Facebook feed, for the same model of fan, and I also sent him screen shots of several eBay shipping charges plus two quotes from shipping companies, all at least half of what he wanted. His response? “In light of this new data, make me an offer.” I didn’t. [/QUOTE]
