I think I should have mentioned that it is 11″ diameter, like a big dinner plate.
OK, frog and possible grease trap… I will look those up too.
We have a guy on CL that has been trying to “give away” his palm tree for three months… it is huge and in the ground! So funny!
Win some…
Joe, there is an awesome table in LB Wooden coffee table (69 Claremont Ave. Long Beach)
Sell the legs!!! Good stuff.Just wanted to share that I had a buyer today that was super nice, she was very polite and said that the shipping seemed high and asked if I would reimburse her on any overages on shipping. I told her that I would be happy to but that I reserve the right to keep my ebay discount. In other words she paid the retail rate of the Post Office and I got to keep my profit/discount on the shipping. She had no problem with that. I refunded her $2.25
Hi Joe, thank you for thinking of me and sending the message. I in fact thought of you too the other day when there was a really great free listing in Long Beach but I figured you probably saw it. Cannot remember what it was right now.
I could not find the listing you mentioned… but anyway, I would not know what to do with 20K records!!!! I did pick up some wrought iron chandeliers last night from a person that listed on CL and she was a couple of blocks away. Whoop Whoop!
PS: there was a person on this forum that said they put handling fees on their listings and they have never had an issue with it… there is a thought.
Exactly my thoughts on free shipping. However on some items it really puts us out of the competitive range because we are in CA and shipping across the US can be pricey. If we were in the center of the map than it would not make much difference and we can go with free shipping across the board.
For first class items and media mail, I have opted most often to go with free shipping but on the larger items, it’s been hard to do. I noticed that I get more watchers on items that are calculated shipping where as before, when I had them on flat rate shipping, they were not being looked — our flat rates were calculated on 3000 miles shipping as you stated above but it was too high.
And if we price the item with the shipping included (3000 miles) then it make the item look really high in price. Where the price looks lower on calculated shipping for those closer to us.
It’s been a real mental battle to get it right.
What I don’t get is I thought that the seller can charge whatever they wish for shipping. If the buyer agrees to the price then they agreed to the price.

Thanks Joe, really appreciate the feedback. Very generous of everyone to be so helpful.
Thank you Sharyn, totally understood and thank you again for taking the time to explain so well. That is exactly what I was running into (listings all over the place) so I thought to just double check with someone here who might confirm that I was on the right track. And so you did! Thank you again!
Hi Sharyn, thank you very much for the detailed reply. Very helpful. I have been following your suggested format so we are on the same page there.
Yes, I have a question: Which category do you like to list under for vintage manuals? I have been listing some under:
Consumer Electronics > Vintage Electronics > Vintage Audio & Video >
Vintage Parts & Accessories > Vintage Manualsand some
books> nonfiction
Do you know if it even make any difference which category?
Thank you again
Hoping to reach Steve via this line, I have a BUNCH of vintage manuals, a 1978 High School GED book, and other stuff not yet discovered, and was hoping for some advise on listing them.
Anyone else out there that is familiar with this type of item, I would be very grateful for any advice.

And I wanted to ask if anyone here sells vintage manuals? Any advise on how best to list them.
