God your carpet looks lush! that's some 1970's shag action action going on. I just wanna lay on it.

Seems sad to split them all up honestly
I'm trying to comprehend the thought process, you got one out of box then decided you had to have one NIB? Regardless, i can only imagine the endless hours spent online. Dedication.

I can think of worse things to spend money and time on.

The problem with that is that he'll have to ship to so many different people.

sporkseller: Personally, I would break the stuff into about 10 big lots, and let people make offers on them. You may make slightly less money, but it'll be easier, and will probably go quicker.

I probably will not sell my MFB stuff (other than some stadiums) since I use them with my son still pretty often and he'll still do some tournaments I think. The other series (plastics / HMS) my head is telling me it's time to jump off the train before it goes over a cliff. EVERYTHING...I'm not quite ready to say that but definitely a majority of it. If I had to guess, I'd say I'll keep 6~7 NIB items from each series and probably half of the stuff that's assembled. It's still a bit up in the air, but I'm hoping to decide and post everything before the weekend is up.

Now that I think about it, I should have put my 'proof' paper in the photos I took. Now I have to pose them all again when I sell them here.

That said assuming I'm right about registration, from what I've seen in many listings requiring registration for shipping to Italy seems to be the norm at least.

But $19 for domestic us shipping? Hahahahahaha oh wow that may actually be worse than what we pay for domestic down under.

Yes, I've noticed the same thing about Italy. As a matter of fact, I've had almost half of my sales to Italy returned to me due to "nonexistent address". From a USA origin, registered mail is a flat $13 addition to the normal shipping charge. So for me to have sent that package to Italy registered mail, it would have been right around US$27. Perhaps eBay is merely doubling the cost and keeping half of the total. Grazzi eBay, grazzi...

It definitely bears further information though - I'd be curious to know what the eGSP charge for non-Italians, though I'm personally going to deselect GSP as the international method for all fixture listings...and current ones if i get around to it. I'd rather lose a dollar or two on shipping than give eBay an extra $30 (not to mention - like you said - buyers may simply stop buying).

At least 40% of my sales go overseas so I will have to figure it out. It's super easy to list an item on eBay using my iPhone - but in a perfect world people would shop on eBay and buy from me here because it's better for both parties (cheaper for buyers and image wise better for me because they'll know I'm not trying to stick it to them on shipping).

It shouldn't be too hard to experiment with seeing as eBay lets buyers select their country on the auction page, though it doesn't give a breakdown. If you want a hand working out breakdowns (I'm willing seeing as I have a vested interest if eBay is ripping off non-US buyers), we could probably work something out with a couple of dummy accounts (seeing as a seller selling a bunch of dummy listings to someone with the same IP address would probably attract attention from ebay), shoot me a PM some time and we can set aside some time for a little investigative work.
Or at least I can give you some advice/pointers (I need some info on how things are on the seller's side to work it out) for doing said work with someone you trust to do so, if you're less than keen on working with me (which I would totally understand).
