Chuck
 contact the shipper and see if he is willing to combine ship some will and
some want they use the high shipping to recoop some of the money they  loose
in the auction in this case the guy probally has 15 to 20 bucks in them and
wants to turn a profit some times the seller will  cut a deal on the lot
also  worth a try .I bought 3 802.11 pci cards with external antenna for
total of 6 bucks and the acuall ups shipping cost 8 buck  felt sorry and
sent the guy 2 bucks so he did atleast break even on shipping got a  great
reply  thanking me
  its worth a try
