He wants $483.00 to ship it to Northern Oklahoma. What a deal that is. Think I will order two.
Now Now. It is a 200 ton crane according to the description. HA HA
I wonder what it would cost to just drive it to OK or Texas.
It is $525.66 for me.
Obviously EBay’s calculator is off by at least 2 decimal points.
$15.00 is the Buy It Now price. He wants $614.88 to ship it to my zip code in ME.
Call me stupid, but I think I’m better off buying a brass locomotive that costs $20.00 to ship.

$431.35 to Leesville, La.
Nope. It’s not ebay’s calculator that’s wrong. I just checked the calculator on another auction and it quoted me $7.00 to ship a brass car. This Blue Box would cost me $429.00 to get to Austin, TX.

$483.00 to ship to Louisiana. Maybe this is a full grown 200 ton crane. If it is thats not a bad price.

Hey, only $391.90 to Wake Forest, NC.
Sounds like a great deal for you. I would jump on it if I were you!!!
I hate to break the bad news to you guys, but all it takes is a slip in the entry for the weight when listing the item to throw the shipping calculator off. Then every calculation is off for that listing. It’s easy to remedy, if the seller knows about it.
Just think, if no one takes the time to let him know, then you guys can keep yucking it up. Party on nitwits!
Rock on Neutrino!!![8D][:D]
NOT!
$479.13 to*** to Manitou, Okla.
Nitwits wow thats pretty nice to say to your own kind and ontop of it your a hobby shop and you call people nitwitz. Dont want much business on the net do ya? I personally dont care cause I buy Locally fstraight through Walthers show room. All they are doing is having a little fun relax breathe.
On the note of the cost to ship this isnt bad I wanted a car you couldnt find anywhere the car cost $1.50 shipping was a 995.45 And it was coming from Ohio which isnt far from me. Of course I didnt buy it.
BTW, he had been informed prior your post.
Pretty rude coment to a bunch of guys that you come hang out with on the web!!!
All along I have realized that this forum is RUDE central. Nobody is allowed a break on here, I conclude. Nitwit party central!

It would only be an easily affordable $508.68 to ship it here to Illinois.[:D]
I wonder if the seller knows about it…[:)]
Rude comments? On here? Is sarcasm allowed??? That’s one reason why I just joined is because all of these rude comments and the animosity is kinda humorous! Like they say, “Model Railroading Is Fun!” or at least they used to say it. Hey maybe someday I’ll learn to put one of them nifty sarcastic-lookin’ smiley faces on a post. Do they have a “nitwit” smiley face???
