This bar is a substantially less money, but the shipping just as much of a rip off.

I would guess that this is part of the dont-get-the-ebay-screw rebellion. I recall a thread awhile back about how eBay rapes you on the sale and doesn't touch the shipping charges

..Which is fine if you offset it that way.
For example, if you want $100 for a bar, set the reserve to $30 & shipping at $70.
Now you have these screwballs who will still want $100 for the bar on top of the $70 shipping.
Gotta love that \"final value fee\"....'cause ebay needs more money... Rolling Eyes
