Aerial Servant was like a ghost carying a tray, with a bow tie, like a butler. Vorpal Kitty looked like a rat sitting on a cow pat. Those have been on my list of must have figs, along with Ral Partha's Skin Gollum and Evil Lord of Litter 01-084, for almost 10 years. I just can't find them anywhere.

Your time just isn't worth that much. But I state something similar in my auctions -- "Shipping will be at cost". I include the cost of packing materials as part of that cost. In short, you pay what I pay to send it. However, sometimes it is very difficult to determine the precise shipping cost before you take it to the post office. (And you never send it to the Post Office before the money arrives, right?) They have funny obscure rules, at least my post office does. It seems to vary by who's at the counter. So I just take a guess at the shipping when I place the auction, and if I'm way over, I'll refund the money. If I'm under, I'll eat that cost and learn a bit for next time.
