Trader Bill,

No, I am about as far away from religious as you can get, but I had enough good ole gospel beat into me as a child...and now, after all I was taught, I would probably get struck by lightning if I entered a church...which reminds me of time my friend spilled a beer and I laughingly said "I rather see a church burn down than to see you spill one of my beers...but I digress...

I have sold more on Ebay than I will ever buy. Nearly everything I have sold I have bought for next to nothing and made quite a bit on. The money I make on Ebay when I sell allows me to spend more on other items I like to collect, thus enabling me to justify my extravagant purchases to my better half when needs be and I make no apologies for this. It is simply the law of supply and demand.

I myself bid on these swizzle sticks. I was outbid very early on, but I set a limit and was ok that I didn't win. More money to spend in the wild, I always say.

Gouging for shipping is something I have never considered doing, however, one must understand that the charges are for "shipping and handling". After all, is someones time to purchase shipping supplies, wrap, pack, address the package, go to the post office to mail said package worth anything?

Just doin my part!
