The R71 was also double-boxed at the UPS Store. The prices reflect the
double-boxed weight - and my estimate of coast-to-coast shipping. I will
check the R71 based on weight and reduce the shipping if you right (the 650
I checked and it is on target given the size of the box).

Your postings seem to ignore the cost of packing - are you aware of the "H"
in S & H?

what about $38 to ship an R-71, everyone else want about $18 to ship
that or a similar receiver. in all my years on ebay, your shipping
prices are the HIGHEST. no BS with that statement.

although I don't know if people are smart enough to look at shipping
BEFORE they bid ?

I went to The UPS Store yesterday to get the 650 double-box packed. That
ran
me $15. The resulting box is huge bu it gives me confidence that it will
arrive well.

Total weight, double-boxed with training video and cables, is 26 pounds,
using an oversize box. Cheapest way to ship was UPS ground at $40
(including
$600 insurance, to Michigan, from California) If you know a cheaper way
to
do it, let me know! I will be glad to ship as inexpensively as
possible -
but these 650s are rather rare and so I would rather make sure it travel
well protected.

If you are not comfortable with ship price, you are free not to bid on
it.
But the fact bear out that the price for shipping is on target.
