What's worse, IMHO, is this statement: "Shipping with insurance to the lower 48 states will be $75. I am charging extra for the shipping as I will use more packing materials for this job."
Does this mean that if this were, say, only a $500 bike that the seller would have less concern that it reached his high bidder undamaged??
