Is This Seller Really Charging $30.38 Shipping for an NGC MS-63 1884-O Morgan Dollar ??

Is this seller really charging $30.38 shipping for an NGC MS-63 1884-O Morgan Dollar, or are they trying to minimize their E-Bay fees by somehow charging less for the merchandise and more for the S/H/I ??

Fill in your zip code in the shipping calculator in this 1884-O NGC MS-63 Morgan Dollar Auction Link and see what you think...
Either way, it seems a bit strange to me...

Same number comes up for me. I sent him an eMail.

<< <i>Just a heads up that the shipping calculator in this auction is screwed up. It comes up with over $30 to ship this coin. >>

I might buy a coin for one cent with that kind of shipping...if I like it.

Then again, I already have a PCGS 64 in this date (which I bought from Dale Williams) that blows this one away.

Oh, and then there's the keyword spamming to boot...

Several other auctions come up with ridiculous shipping so, being the nice guy I am, I sent him several more eMails.

He's also a keyword spammer.

Again, being such a helpful person, I gave eBay a heads up on that one.

Thirty dollars for me as well. Email sent to acquaint this seller with the concept of fee avoidance. :>

maybe the 30 dollars includes his cab fee to the post office

Russ · June 6, 2006 9:31AM

HMM...He actually responded that it is a screwup.

His response to me:

"A BRIGHT IDEA UNTIL I FOUND OUT IT WAS ILLEGAL. ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL BE CANCELLED. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSTION.........*seller name*"

Oh well, can't blame a bit of uninformed business creativity

Names the top 3 and then the coin is in an ACG slab. Guess he couldn't bring himself to include that in his desc. it says..

<< <i>1897-O AGC AU 50 >>

Russ: Yep, I also noticed that...
