Robbers!

I look over the offerings on eBay on a pretty consistant basis and I have noticed recently people demanding $15-$20.00 for shipping a Luger holster if you are stupid enough to agree to their terms. One guy tells me it's because gas is so high, he has to drive to the PO.
Another is whoever has a gob of small Luger parts for sale, $5.95 to mail an extractor or a fireing pin? Should be .62 cents max. Is this my pet peeve or do others think this is robbery? I simply will not bid on items that are using postage as a profit center.
I ordered some M1 carbine parts the other day, guy charged me $3.00 postage and when they came the postage was .62 cents. Grrrrrr.
I mail out many packages every year and I cannot believe others do not see this as a cost of doing business and give their customers a square deal...Jerry Burney
