Arty on Auction Arms

Hello all concerned with my Arty luger on Auction Arms and the stock. This arty and stock is a consignment sale. I am not any kind of knowledgable person on lugers. That is why I have Howard help me on these items I sell. And that's why I offer a 3 day inspection. And check my feedback on the auctions. Very positive feedback. I feel sorry for some one that feels my shipping of 19.50 is too much. Maybe if that person had to PAY employees an hourly wage, and pay to get the item packaged and then taken down to a shipper, he might understand that it really does cost someone in business to actually get an item shipped. My commission of items I sell on consignemnt is 10%. So, if the stock sells for roughly $150, I'll make $15. And then take the auction fee of about 5 bucks out of that. So, if it is unsat for a guy to try and make a couple bucks, I stand guilty. And I pay an employee well above minimum wage to help me. So, a sale at 150 plus the 19.50 shipping will probably NET me about $12 profit. Plus, I had to take pics, handle the E mail questions, etc. So, if $12 is unreasonable for some. I'm truely sorry, and hope he understands my delima. I'll bet the critical person wouldn't do all that work for a $12 profit.
For those that understand and support me, Thanks. Duelin Tom.
