How much would it cost for teleportation?

Just had a loser leave me a positive, but said shipping was extremely slow.. Item ended last Saturday, he paid Monday, he recieved it today. Does not get much faster than that.

    Be thankful he didn't leave you a neut under the new "neg victoriously" format, LOL!!

    I would block that buyer.

    The second time might not be as lucky.


    The funniest NEG I saw today was from a Canadian:

    "Seller Refused To Mark Package As A Gift. Cost Me $25 Customs Duty"

    You can bet that if teleportation were ever invented, the powers that be, e.g., every government on earth, the oil companies, the auto industry, the airline industry, etc., would shut that invention down in a minute!

    Extremely slow??? Give me a break! I'd block him too.

    no there not.

    Canadians are awesome :0)

    I have no problem marking something "gift" on the customs form.

    You do know that is a form of mail fraud if it is not truly a gift. Doubtfl they would ever do anything, but it could happen.

    Don't worry the loser was added to my BBL as well as an email asking him how I could have gotten it there any faster.

    Leo you might think differently if you ever drive in downtown Montreal and have these ignorant Canadiens giving you the finger just because you have US plates!

    do you hate me?
  • I checked the rates at UTS (United Teleporter Service)

    The standard rates on their Avogadro scale are:

    $2.35 per mole-mass unit defined in grams as g=n*MM.

    Of course you will need to precisely identify the molecular composition of the item being transported with a mass spectrometer. If you have a home spectormeter, you can calculate the cost and pre-pay on line from the convenience of your own home without having to stand in line and use their public mass spectrometer.

    Just a note in case you haven't used their service before: All items being transported must be in an inertial state of rest.

    Don't transport any expensive cards or cards you plan to have graded. PSA recently released a memo to their graders that transported cards will now be considered "reprints" for grading purposes. It doesn't seem fair since the transported card is identical to the original card down to the last quark, but I understand their position since technically, the original atoms composing the card were deconstructed at the sending transport terminal to be used for later reconstitution.

    Also, I forgot to mention insurance. Due to the unstable nature of sub-atomic reconstruction of molecules, and an unfortunate miscalculation with a T-206 Wagner, insurance is no longer offered.

    Hope this helps.

    Wow, sounds to me like the buyer in the OP needs a beatdown.

    I won a $50 Gordie Howe card on 5/11 payed & immediately via PayPal. Seller left me POSTIVE feedback on 5/12 & indciated that he mail it on 5/12. I've been waiting since and have had good communications with the seller. I've won auctions from Canada before and their postal system is really slow.
