I almost feel bad

I almost feel bad sometimes when I buy games on Ebay because most of the time the people I am buying them from are either losing money or not making much.  This Milton Bradley  The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe game is no exception.  The sale price was .99 cents and they charged ten dollars for shipping.  I think people list items like this thinking that the low price will make them stand out from the other twenty that aren't selling, but it doesn't work.  So, I paid Eleven dollars and when the box came the shipping label listed the cost as nine dollars.  That leaves the seller two dollars of which Paypal and Ebay took one.  They made a buck.  Doesn't even seem worth their time, but I always appreciate it when sellers honor these deals.  Once and a while they won't send it and never answer your Email because it's not worth their time to pack it up.  Some sellers make a couple of extra bucks by shipping games Media Mail or what's often called book rate.  This usually makes them a few extra dollars and this is common among the sellers who move lots of different kinds of items.  I am happy I got the game I wanted at a price I had been waiting for.
