Pete, well I guess I should say I am sorry you are receiving all the trash emails from Mr. Phil. I am suprised I have not gotten but just one since I am the one who pointed out his shipping fee to begin with. And I was not attacking him at all. Just pointing out a high shipping fee and to let other collectors be ware and not to bid up to $12 bucks on a common strike because it then will cost a bunch for the strike. How Phil does business is his choice as far as I am concerned. Charge 1 cent and $10 for a common strike or charge $10 and a cent for shipping is the same out of my pocket. And if you do the first way there is more in Phil's pocket instead of in fees to eBay. I have no problem either way because my cost is the same and that is the bottom line I look at.

Weather Phil is old, ill, in a wheel chair or a beginner, it is still no excuese to be nasty to his possible future buyers. He needs to realize that we all sort of look out for each other and no one was attacking him. Heck Tom and Kirk have pointed out many auctions that had high shipping fees or were great buys for other collectors. Maybe even they pointed out Phil's and helped Phil out with alot more viewers and bids.

Phil, maybe you should think a little here and stop bitting the hand that is feeding you.

Just my 1 cents worth.
