Also, why so much for shipping? It seems that's a standard for people on eBay selling systems. I know damn well they don't cost that much to ship. |

The shipping is that much because it is calculated based on your zip code. You should do flat shipping at $15 then you can fit all in a large flat rate box (free at the post office) or if it fits in medium it is only like $11. Or you could start bidding at $15 and give free shipping. I think you would get more bids that way. You should definitely crop out ashtray too, it looks awful. |

You can easily ship a console via parcel post for under $10. Even UPS ground would cost less. That number is calculated by information entered by the seller. They can put in whatever they want to inflate the shipping. |

I just told you that USPS parcel post is a lot less. Most likely under $10. Personally, I'll wait a few more days and save some money. Also, I've bought consoles on eBay. Not one has arrived via Priority mail. They're overcharging for shipping. Plain and simple. |
