I'm always puzzled by "local only"
offers. It's expected that shipping
costs get added, but why would a seller make a decision that shipping is
"too expensive"? Logically the buyer should decide that, and if the buyer
will pay the shipping, even if pricy, why not do the transaction?
Sometimes sellers are not interested in the hassle of packaging a certain
item. Perhaps it's fragile and they're concerned it won't arrive undamaged
causing a NAD and being out of pocket for 2x shipping and now having a
damaged item.
