Sure if you collect large machines and have them shipped cross country. Most
of the heavy items I have are local pickups, or I would not have bothered.
There are not that many things I would shell out $100+ just for shipping.
I try not to spend more then $100 a month, sometimes I go over if I find a
great deal I can't pass up. Some months there just isn't that much out
there. The bulk of my ebay purchases are things like software, cards,
cables, cpu upgrades etc so shipping is not that bad.
Heck I would be pissed to find I sunk even $20K
into my collection over the last 10 years.
Over a period of 10 years, its not hard to sink $20K into shipping
fees alone when you collect stuff that needs to be shipped freight.
