I just got an Email reminder from Fleabay about some table saw miter gauge I glanced at briefly a week or so ago.
At first glance it looked like a decent deal.
Take a closer look at this screen grab and you will see why I passed on it.
Ayep, some fucking clown wanting to charge $97.55 to ship something that probably weighs about a pound across the country.
Ya gotta watch out for assholes like this because it is actually pretty common anymore.
How does ebay allow this obvious type of fraud persist? I have shipped a short block across country and only paid about $40 bucks shipping and it weighed more then that.

THEY DON’T ALLOW IT! IF YOU REPORT THEM, THEY WILL BE REMOVED, AND THE SELLER WILL BE BARRED. YOU NEED TO SEND THE SCREEN SHOT TO THEM, AND THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT, PHIL…
NOTHING BUT A BAG OF DICK EATERS DO THIS KIND OF FUCKERY….. THOSE ARE THE ONES I WISH I COULD TAKE A FUCKING BALL BAT TO THEIR FUCKING SKULLS…..

I am a ham radio operator and on occasion I will find a decent price on a quality piece of equipment and then find the shipping price is so much it makes the price ridiculous.
Lots of people trying to get to the head of the line when we are looking for something. This is just one way of getting a first look….

Bought some gun parts the other day. Get done with everything and a message pops up, just ahead of finalizing,,
Do you want the insurance? You understand that if you don’t buy the insurance and you never get it, or the package is damaged, you have no recourse, right?
I paraphrased, but only slightly,,
And that felt enough like
You got a nice place here
Be a shame it burns down
So, I paid,,
Because Finding stuff in stock is not easy,,
And the good part is, I need to order them again, for a second build..
Shit..

This is the same fucking thing that happened with facemasks, shit-paper, and
paper towels when the Chink KIng Flu came along. Buy a 6 pack of ass-wipe
at a reasonable price only to find out that the shipping cost is 10 dollars.
