That's the problem Ben, I'm happy to take it
to the local pack and ship
place and say "Make this go from here to there via UPS Ground." but
depending on the weight, the item (fragile/not fragile/big/not big) the
price varies tremendously. From reasonable $11 - $15 to outrageous $50 -
$75. Now I trust this guy who does the packing, he's great but I get into a
situation where off it goes and now I've got to send you a bill that
perhaps isn't worth it to you to pay. That's the risk that I deal with.
I think this boils down to what is a realistic price for a item.
Take a used terminal, I would like to spend $100 canadian for one,
shipping included. I would not mind spending $5, but will that
get me $200 of headaches. This is where I think we need a informal
price sheets of costs involved. Also a good resource for documentation
and software. Over the last few years many of the $5-$25 items that
I found could have been more valuable I tossed because of lack of
documentation
or no software.
