It is not my intent to make any money on the shipping and do not have any handling or material charges. I am happy to answer any and all questions, so feel free to contact me.  I ship only within the USA, unless we have worked out an agreement in advance. Please contact me within 24 hours of the auction closing to make payment arrangements. All sales final.  Thanks and good luck!  Place a Bid!
