One you want to watch. I recently bought a NOS Mavic MA2 rim from a seller
on the IBOB list. Paid a fair price...no steal... $55. Seller says to me
"Just send the $55 and I'll bill you the shipping". Easy.
Seller bills me $24 for shipping a rim! I looked up some of my records.
I've shipped two bikes in the last year for that. Four complete sets of
wheels...highest was $14.
When I got the rim, it was just tossed in a box without even a bit newspaper
around it or anything...just rattling around in there!
I paid the guy, but will never do business with him again. I think I'll ask
for a shipping fee and have it settled up front before completing the deal
with anyone I don't know.
