I bought lots from Alex but many years ago as there is not much he offers nowadays what I am looking for.
Always fine but expensive postage at the end stooped me buying from him.

too much shipping is common thread and epay method ,HIDE inside BIN
looking for gap fillers and should not be out of line to request actual shipping for 10 cars (listed 3 months or more)
not $60 hidden within 10x BIN
will try an order ...but if ,receive another "full price or higher" x 10 .....will vote to place him on the buyer avoid list

I dont understand the math...?
BIN All say wait for combined shipping but BIN is 1 win 1 pay right NOW..?
So I asked what is combined shipping... for 10 +?....= discount $1.15 per additional car
where shipping is listed it is $4.99-6.99 per car therefore 3 cars at full fare covers the total shipping (5-25 cars) from every other dealer and 5 cars cover it from rest of world
at a reasonable $4 discount over 3 I would have taken a risk on 25 cars from this months listing
if he ships for $4 (volume shipper) for 1 car...charge $6 = $2 shipping profit
$12 BIN = $6 car + $6 sp charge so If I ask for all in 1 box discount @ $8 car + .50/ actual ship x 25 = $200 + $12-14 shipping = $50 additional profit
why bother with 1of to pack and ship when you could do half the orders and realize 30% more
suppose pickup the ones I spent 2 hours coding for $10 discount and give up....

...and of course sellers are often not in control of the shipping rates, this is down to the various parcels handlers.

I am comparing like shipping to like shipping
1 BTO sellers get discount shipping ,some up to 30% less and 50% if you dont do it inside epay BS
2 it is considerably cheaper to ship one 25-50 car box vs 25-50 packed singles
3 included or free shipping was in response to cure double profit on the sale...(making as much or more on the shipping + sale)
4 it artificially inflates the pricing /value...
