[Milsurplus] E-bay / a work of genius

[Jim DiMauro]

Marty-o:

Yep, sounds like you got ripped. That's why I do the
packing costs up front.  No surprises.  That's the
least I can do for someone who is willing to give me
their money.  So, don't bring your noise bridge to
UPS.  Come on, be sensible.  That's a no-brainer.  You
get a free, flat-rate shipping box from the Post
Office and you can tell your buyer that it'll cost
$7.90 for S/H anywhere CONUS, maybe add two bux for
insurance. I'm talking the big stuff.  And I don't
have a handling hot button.  I have a cheapskate hot
button.

BTW, sarcasm is one of my specialties/character
flaws/hobbies (pick one).  Don't take me too seriously
and get your shorts in a knot :-)

Anyway, I gotta know: do I qualify as a "dinger"? 
Don't hold back, my skin is as thick as my skull.
