All auction houses use shipping as another way to make a few $$, I beleive. Greg Martin certainly does. If the "buy" is good enough, just remember to factor in the added costs. You have to add the buyer's premium, their flat rate per item packing fee, then their sky high shipping costs with FedEx 2nd day air, which is what they use. There may still be a few good buys at on-line auction houses, but they are fewer and farther between now, the added costs are only part of the reason, but a big one.
You were in a good place at a good time, it would appear.
